My thought process:
Pre-flop > Seems standard.
Flop > I think this flop hits my range more than the villain's range. Plus I have club blocker and J and KK blockers, making flush and straight draws less likely.
A few questions:
1. Would a bigger bet be better?
2. How important are my blockers? If I have AAxx with no clubs and no J, do I check this?
3. Assuming betting is correct, is it correct because I likely have the best hand and want to charge any draws (the draws likely to be a pair and or non-nut straight and flush draws)?
