Should i lead flop? Maybe check-raise? I can be check raising aces there.
On turn i wanted to figure if he had. My bet screams both weakness and strength.

PF is a whole lotta loose.
i don't mind check raising the flop to find out if i'm drawing to one out but i probably lead, and play from there. i'd make him define his hand on the flop.

It's about right on the turn, but if raised you might put this down. Any read on CO at all?
This hand shows the terrible disadvantage of playing OOP with weak hands(no redraw or blockers of any kind).
Anyway, it's easier to bet the turn although a check may induce a bluff, or gain bets on some rivers.
A check-raise on the flop would be tricky against a difficult player, who might be playing anything from AAxx to broadway wraps to air.
On balance of probability you have the best hand, but if CO is a 'raise only with Aces' type, then maybe not!
In some games against experienced opponents, I check and then await a bluff, or 1/2 pot some rivers after check-check on the turn. Knowing your opponents is still part of almost any poker game...

Well, I was gone for a week but I see you're still playing (weak) hands OOP....sigh...lol
I don't like the lead out here. You almost have to fold if/when he shovels money in.
I'm probably going in to super-passive mode, hoping to get to a somewhat cheap showdown,
OR preferably hitting one of my two outs to quads on the rivvvvvvver!!!
