Seems like a clear check. I guess you can hope villain has something like KJ/QJ that calls us light if you bet, but that's villain dependent and he's likely only calling you with Ax.

Seems like clear block river. CO likely has flatted too wide and will get there with too many combos of JTs/QJs..

checking for sure. When he bets its prolly a fold, j is much better card for his range. Completes qt and T7. gives J9 and J8 2pair. All of which he'll bet, same with weaker aces. Doubt he'll go for thin value and bet a rivered J or turn a 9 or 8 into a bluff. So really the only hands he could be betting as a bluff here are KQ, KT (which we block a lot of combos of) 76s or complete random air which tbh isnt in his range all the much on this board.

Lead 0.12 or something if you think he's not good enough to exploit that, but that's pretty disrespectful. For some kind of standard sizing to be good he has to be really really terrible, seems way too optimistic. The normal play is to check/soul read (mainly fold realistically).

Check flop is obv reasonable but I think we want to cbet sometimes, there's some value vs a few draws 9x/8x and that might make the hand slightly easier to play, because it's pretty tough to guess exactly what he bets flop when checked to, some people bluff too much and others not enough in those kinds of spots.

Xc sometimes and let him bluff with a hand like T9.

I agree with this. everyone else seems to like a check though.

I figured he would have a decent amount of Jx in theory.
