 No reads. I don't like my bet sizing at all, I get nervous on monotone flops = a leak I need to fix.
Once villain pushes I figure I'm splitting at best, but expecting a flush OR ace high straight with a draw to the flush. So I fold. Thoughts?

another note, playing $10nl until I clear the prima bonus. Then moving to $25 elsewhere and quickly to $50 if I run ok..

Prima Network No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (5 handed)

UTG ($16.40)
MP ($5.08)
Hero ($10.14)
SB ($9.29)
BB ($3.89)

Preflop: Hero is Button with [As], [Js].
UTG calls $0.10, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.4, 1 fold, BB calls $0.30, UTG calls $0.30.

Flop: ($1.25) [Tc], [Kc], [Ac] (3 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $0.62, BB folds, UTG calls $0.62.

Turn: ($2.49) [Qd] (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $1.24, UTG raises to $10.99, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $14.72
don't raise with the straight flush bro, nobody ever gonna call that shit
allin, reload, repeat

why would you check that flop? its drawy as hell.

pot the flop, and i guess fold, because likely he has at least a straight + flush draw. this play looks like a Jc.

Robb is an unknown quantity at this point
 I really don't think this was that badly played. It's a murderous flop for your holding, and you didn't make the huge mistake of checking the flop. He's certainly acting like he has the flush. I would take the c/r at face value and fold.

Sure, a bigger bet on the flop would have made your position more clear, but this line isn't bad. You advertised the made flush with this "extraction" bet, he called and then c/r. So imo he thinks he has your flush beat. I'm folding.

In general, I like to be the first to push, not the one calling a push. My all-ins are more than 80% me shoving, not calling. Probably more like 90%. I try to make the call only when I would have pushed if he had checked to me. Of course, when donators trap themselves, I'm all-in with them. But this doesn't look like on of those instances to me.

I sometimes check this kind of flops but mostly I c/bet as usual and hope to take it down. However, I don't think I could ever fold the turn here for 100bb's.

I would have checked turn and hopefully they bet small on river if they have the flush and you can see if your straight is good cheaply.
