yep. definitely a checked flop for me. you get far more value from the part of his range you crush (88-QQ) on the turn than on the flop and he may also turn some lower pairs or some other D-range hands he may have into bluffs on the turn. a bet on the flop gets called by any ace he is calling pf 3bets with and probably folds out all but JJ,QQ (even these may also fold). i may even call a shove on the turn.
