WA/WB flop situations and the merits of checking

[Talking Poker]

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I think playing it your way will cost you a lot of value in the long run.

Do people really fold Ax at $25 NL? I'd expect you to get 3 streets of value - or at least the same two you would get from playing it your way, with one less card for villain to suck out. And if you are "exercising pot control vs. sets," does that mean that if you get bet into on the turn, your plan is to just call this hand down?

That's just WAY too passive for my liking.
