How much to bet after flop? The board is really dry and there is no flush draw on the way or something like this.

I did a smaller bet than usual, but wasn't sure whether to bet at all. I will be in the lead after the turn too (just AA can beat me on the turn as far as I see and even that is very improbable...).

0.05/0.1 No-Limit Hold'em (8 handed)

nh and bet size is fine too. i never check behind here, just bet bet bet. even if the chances are like zero, your hand is still vulnerable - any pocket pair which hits, has you beat.
don't adjust the bet sizes to your hand strength unless you have to protect against draws. just c-bet as you would do with any other hand, otherwise you'll get pretty much exploitable for any thinking player.

Nh. C-bet as usual otherwise your check behind will be more suspicious than a c-bet.

Only thing you can do is bet 1/2 pot but that's it, well played
