Checking back and calling turn seems decent only if we're ready to call many rivers and it's gonna be rather tough as our hand will look a lot like what we have (we'll look like AK-AQ), so villain will be able to bluff a lot and valuebet correctly against our faceup range. I prefer betting the flop.

First thought that comes into my head - why would you do this for value? Their ranges look very weak, and your overbet looks very strong, almost as if you're trying to make them fold (which you are). It also isn't in line with your smaller turn sizing. And they can both (if BB is a fish which he might be, given your description) have 87. Still, for a reg (especially if he's a weaker one) the river overbet might look very scary, so it's possible he'd fold everything but a straight (or 2 pair if he has it somehow) but if BB is indeed a fish, he might be calling you with any A, many draws missed, after all. So, I think that it's rather hard to say if this is a +EV bluff, and it might be very +EV with better reads, but knowing only what you wrote, I'd just give up.

Thanks for the video. Why not check the river behind w KJs @ 22:30? You're ahead of lots of draws and it looks like a very good spot for him to check-raise bluff as your range looks pretty weak.

4-b calling only JJ+, AK vs 15% 3bettor seems way too tight, unless he's 3b-folding almost always (which is probably not the case if he's good). Just open tighter from CO and expand your 4b-call range to at least AQ+, TT+.

Hi. My card was charged $10 according to the Essential pricing plan I had, but my plan was still downgraded to Basic. What happened? Fix it pls. Thank you :)

However I like live actions videos much more, I understand it's not very appealing to make a video of you playing your normal stakes, but how about reviewing another reg's play or playing on another site?
Without strong reads exploitably cbetting all our range here seems ok and I'd only be checking flop with a hand I'd want to get tricky with, like a strong overpair or some draws.
Problem with checking is that we turn our range face up and even A isn't as good for us anymore, as villain would probably expect us to have AQ-AK very often if we check flop).
Villain can valuebet as thinly as 99 or even worse on many runouts and he can bluff a lot as well as many runouts will be bad for our percieved range. If we do have a read, that he'll be bluffing too often, then it's ok, but without any such reads, I prefer betting the flop.
