Simple flop spot?

UTG: $445.72
HJ: $695.20 (Hero)
CO: $401.10
BN: $435.23
SB: $221.74
BB: $406
Preflop ($6.00) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt A T
UTG folds, Hero raises to $12, CO calls $12, BN folds, SB folds, BB folds
Flop ($30.00) 4 T 9 (2 Players)
Hero bets $20, CO raises to $64

Villain is a slight winning reg playing 24/17 with a 6% 3bet and a 10% flop raise over 2.5k hands.

Simple question: What's our best plan for the rest of the hand?

I´d start with checking the flop. Betting gets you into tons of trouble, just think about on how many flops you´ll be clueless what to do after building a pot with a marginal hand oop.

Good point, that's not a bad way to approach this type of board OOP. I do tend to check/call most of my tens in this spot but was thinking AT was strong enough to bet (which is apparently wrong given my trouble vs a flop raise).

Generally, is AT the strongest hand in your flop check/call range here? What is your "standard" play with JJ?

I prefer to x/c weaker T, AT is good to value-bet, lot of value to take on the flop and on the turn. And 10% flop raise in not huge by any means.


Flop seems an easy peel, with TPTK and BDNF. Probably x/f a lot of turn.

I bet flop here often but it is very close.  Vs the raise I think fold is probably best. Half the deck on the turn we can't continue on.  If we are continuing I think 3b flop is better then calling. 

Would like to have a better read on villains flop raising range... Vs a lot of players putting any more money in Vs the raise is getting it in very bad.

I think C betting and check calling flop are both good options although I lean more towards C betting given your HJ opening range.  After being c/r'd, I would definitely call as villain's range is weighted towards tons of flush draws and gut shots.
