Accept that by the turn you're unlikely to make much money, you crush too much of the board, there are no flush draws or OESD and unless your opponent has an Ace or 55 they are probably not putting more into the pot

I'm inclined to agree with Ramius line but understand that you will get folds almost always

in theory you should have some decent bluffs on turn like qj or jt and villain in theory is capped to aq, 55 and some a5s, but even in those pos's where ranges are wide, your winnings on this flop will be mostly non SD whatever you have hand or not

That’s a pretty scary flop and turn - particularly when a lot of players are generally wary of their opponents slow playing big/monster hands. It’s entirely possible you got the most money out of this hand as you could get short of increasing your 3Bet amount preflop

I can see a line like bet flop, check turn, bet river being fairly standard

your line is only good if you have the read that villain probes very aggressively

While not at 2nl, I make the most money if Opponent hits next best pair. Here, we ant opponent to have Kx, QQ, JJ. Even Ax is likely to call. Unfortunately, our odds go up in 3 way+ pot of someone having combos of these.

I flop full house, check flop. Villain makes his top pair on turn. Bet little less than 1/2 pot. If there is a draw out there, they will call as well. Unfortunately, most will brick on river. However, that top pair will likely call a 3/4 pot bet on river. How I get them to call.

Otherwise, its tough to make money when you flop the nuts.
