AT flop two pair out of possition. Scary board

edited January 2012 in The Poker Clinic
Reads on opponent are minimal. Nothing to give away what a min raise UTG means. Could be a strong hand thinking that he doesn't want to scare anyone away TT+ AJ+ or could be just some random rubbish.

Think pre is right because AT (although easily dominated) is easy for me to lay down, even when I flop an ace. Folding is too tight and raising is turning my (potentially dominated) hand into a bluff.

Flop I should be raising more I think but how much? I've given him about 2.5:1 to call. If he has a straight draw is there any bet I could make that would prevent him from calling given that I think this is a weak player?

Thinking about it now it's unlikely that the 9 has helped him so my turn bet is a solid value bet that should be setting up for a shove on the river. I guess I bottled it thinking that AJ KQ and JJ have all got there now but that he can only really call a river shove with AK and AQ where I win, while 9x, AJ, JJ, KQ, AJ all snap call. I thought that if I check I might get bluffed at by a few hands that otherwise wouldn't call. I'm losing too much value here arn't I? By the way I'm never folding if he bets the river here. I just wonder if check/call is better than betting here
