Delayed cbet spot BTN vs BB
I dont know if it is better to check or make a high a cbet in this kind of flop. Id usually xb paired turns, but facing two x from viallain i thought it was fair to attack some ace highs. Was it played wrong?

Yeah i think id b75 flop. As played, id bet bigger on turn and river.
Def cbet flop, and then you can try to move small-Med pairs plus ace high off in later streets if you miss.. They may call if you check flop n try to do that later.. As played I'd prob jus over bet riv and get ace+ calls, I think most of his pocket pairs will fold to any bet anyway
Yep my lazy shortcut on these broadway straight flops is to b75 anything that can comfortably call a x/r.
Turn stab fine. River I'd OB when we hit, 1.5-2x.
Not a great flop in terms of getting an immediate fold, but KQ is one of our best bluffs, and population under check-raises, so yeah def cbet. A checkback is just a fancy play so we can occasionally have KQ when we check. Not really necessary at low stakes.
Mind you, with this hand, I would be looking to bet/bet/bet on most runouts. I would be looking to slowdown on board pairs and straightening cards that don't help us, like a Q or 7. Sizing wise - maybe something like 2/3 flop, pot turn, 2/3 river is best.
As played, we probably missed some value from AJ-A9 on this runout. A slight overbet of 110-125% seems good.
