Also probably best if a few regs at this level could give some advice.

I play this level and if you pay attention, certain players will do the same play over and over again. For this reason you can bluff sometimes. Not sure what I would do here as no info but if I had just sat down I would take the free card.
I dont play these stakes but i think the theory of playing against loose passive players stays the same, so i would continuation bet (1/2 pots fine against one player but against two i would bet 2/3) on this dry of a board for capitalization of dead money.
I believe theres only three reasons for betting:-
1) to get value from are hand
2)a bluff
3)capitalization of dead money
If we bet here we are not bluffing as its most likely that we have the best hand but as we only have ace high we are happy to take the pot down now as they have good equity against are hand.
If we get a caller we are obviously just trying to get a free showdown if we dont improve, its not the worst thing if a hand like kj calls us as although they have good equity against us at least we are getting some value from are hand while we are ahead.
So in conclusion i would bet for capatilization of dead money aand thin value....hope this makes sense :-)
I'm a reg at this level, I have found that alot of players will call 20p pre-flop with any 2 suited or connected cards and any ace
I think on that board I would c-bet half the pot, then check the turn if not improved
In this situation with just one card to come is it best over time just to fold and let him have it ?
reasons to bet:
youre in position.
you have 2 overs.
you beat every flush draw apart from AK so if you bet flop and turn and the flush misses you can check back the river and still win a lot of the time.
every turn card is gonna be a scare card for someone with a 2 or 3 so you can probably get them to fold by barrelling. i dont buy into this people never ever fold any pair rubbish, people have to fold some of the time, no matter how bad.
If you hit a ace or queen on turn or river you can stack people with a ten. also jacks and kings give you more outs and are decent scare cards to continue betting.
If both people call flop then i would give up on turn a lot more but if youve bet flop theyre both likely to check to you on turn anyway so you can take a free card.
