100nl Standard right? 100nl Standard right?

Im pretty sure this is a standard hand, but I would like to make sure, losing a little lately and not super confident in my game.

Villain stats are:

Should one be c-betting with this hand, or is taking one off and reevaluating the turn the best option?

Also if you were holding AhKx how would that, if at all, change your line?

it really depends on the villain. you don't have a large enough sample size to know much about him and you can't be sure that he'll barrel at you like that on the turn and river. i think a bet of ~$18 would be good on the flop and really clarify your position as you're playing a guessing game on the turn and river.

however, if you did know more things abot villain and that he would barrel turn cards etc after you check back flops i think your play is fine. you'll just have to fold heart rivers, though and that sucks.

Yes, very standard. Although betting the flop is fine too, which is what i would have done. I'd say you have the winning hand on the river like 60% of the time here. He is often betting a missed flush here. I put him on Ace jack w/ the ace of hearts. Perhaps pocket 5s, 6s, or 8s, all of which may think they can get you to lay down your jacks or tens.

it would be waay more standard to bet the flop vs an unknown villain.

as played i'm not sure if i could find a fold vs unknown he is repping either a turned set or a big hand that was going for the check raise on the flop
