With the ace blocker to the nut flush draw I would prefer to Cbet the flop. The change he has a flush draw is limited and if he fits and fold a lot this works most likely better than a delayed Cbet on a blank turn card.

I would tend to check this on flop and turn and try for showdown. Hand has lot of turns you can call as bluff catch but board is pretty coordinated for thin value/protection bet imo.

ok the reason why I bet turn ist I want to deny equity. I would much more inclined to bet without the fd ace. If I cbet here he is less likely to call because I block some of his flushes. Besides that there is not much draws he can call with. The problem with checking turn imo is that I just let every crap hand a chance to outdraw me. How do you compensate this?

Yeah delayed cbet has merits but in general I would expect limp-caller pre range to connect too well on this middle card flop. Getting raised on turn is rare but suck when it happens.

We don't get better hands to fold most of time and we have decent showdown value. Reason I check flop is that I don't assume huge amount of fold equity versus limper and having Ah and two overcards is good. Villain checking turn again does cap his range but definitely can have lot of one pair hands at least. If villain has total airball his equity won't be that high.
