Didnt know what to do, another $4 would be fine but he may just check.
What is the winning play long term? if you raise to say $20 he would have to call 1 out of 5 times to make the $4 pot average.
If however you check and he continues betting into you you have an opertunity to reraise.
I think i am begining to answer my own question, but i can see the replies coming back as situational and 'read based'.
So based on no reads whats the best play here.
I think I got it wrong.
Thanks

If opp is aware in any way shape or form, check raising the turn will scream monster. As played call the turn and do a mixture of leading the river and check raising it.

I think leading the flop and firing three barrels would have been the best line for this hand. You hopefully make it look like a draw that way and hope someone comes along for the ride.

please dont post your blind until the bb gets to you. and i dont mind check-raising the turn since his bet is so weak, and the turn added another draw and is an ace is always a bluffable card
