limper is a really bad serial limper...limps almost every hand

no reads on SB...I have isoed the limper before but mostly been quiet

thoughts on the flop check? Is there any need to bet this flop and if we do what can we get multiple streets of value from?

I chose to go check flop bet turn bet river cause of how dry the board is...I typically don't like checking as the pre raiser but here I thought I get more value from not announcing I have it...

look ok?

Against an unknown I like betting the flop to get value from Ax hands, which will be a decent part of his preflop range.

but won't we get two streets of value anyway if he has an ace? if he has a weak ace can we expect to bet all streets and get paid?

by checking can't we extract more from non A hands?

It depends on how much you cbet air on this board. If you're doing it a lot then I'd bet AK/AQ and chk back weaker Ax and some PPs.

Against a better player betting the flop is good too. You're near the top of your range (which is wide) and a better player will call the flop with a wider range.

I have to say the SB pre flat sort of threw up a flag for me...with no reads it looks pretty strong so I am not sure how often I bet air on the flop here given the pre action

Betting air on A high dry flops is usually not a bad plan. It's the hands that have SD value against his range that can be tricky. SB could have a lot of hands here. He's an unknown and your perceived range is wide because you're isoing from the BTN.
