Hero (BB): $404.00
UTG: $809.05
MP: $455.40
CO: $513.20
BTN: $415.25
SB: $424.00

Pre Flop: ($6.00) Hero is BB with K

2 folds, CO raises to $12, BTN calls $12, SB calls $10, Hero calls $8

Flop: ($48.00) A

(4 players)
SB checks

opener looks like a TAG reg, BTN is LAG and SB looks fishy.

opener is def. not going to cbet this flop light and I doubt LAG takes a stab with fish involved.

should I lead?

on the other hand when original opener cbets and fish calls theres fishes dead money in the pot and c/r seems ok too?

how play AT/44 here?

def lead with A10 and 44

leading KQ here is also good cause I dont think the LAG will take a stab here with Air and if you c/r his a8 j9 type hands he'll fold them.

ye Id like leading here cause it dont polarize your range that much as c/r would do.

I prefer c/r because of the pot size and relative positions (fish's dead money). Then jam any turn.
If it checks around - no biggie, your draw is very strong.
I am also not a big fan of leading, because somebody is likely to have an A and will float you, and it will be hard to get all the money in on flop/turn when you still have equity.
I would probably c/r with AT and 44 as well, although I am more likely to lead with AT, since it is more vulnerable to flush draws and straight draws.

Btw, I don't mind leading either, just prefer a c/r in a vacuum.
