    If it's villain b from other hand you posted its a clear vbet on turn imo. I'd make it pretty big too. I don't see a good reason to check

    value in shipping river? Generally we want to be checking the weaker hands in our range against a maniac - because they still beat his bluffs, but there's less value in us betting them. If we're massively ahead of his range OTT, then just bet turn. Even make it a weak looking sizing or w/e you think is best to get villain to do something crazy.

    I can't disagree with the two better players that have responded before me, I'd bet the turn for at least 1/2 pot and not want to slow down unless the oppo pushed back.

    That said, when you slow down it maybe looks a bit more like you cbet but gave up because of the A and therefore give villain the chance to bluff river or maybe even go for max value with worse trips figuring you could have TT- />KK that may sigh call?

    It maybe makes things trickier though, the call on the river now seems trickier (to me) compared to if you'd bet turn and potentially been checked to on the river...
