I don't have any special reads on the villains. The table in general has been somewhat passive with limp/calls pre-flop and fold/calling post flop. I would like opinions on post flop plan to the most profit out of your hand.

Bet. Around 1.50$ seems good.
There isnt really alot of outs that will improve villains hand.
Checking and hoping to induce a bet/call on the turn is ok but since you read them as passive i just bet here.
All his broadways have either a pair or straight draw and the rest of his range isnt really giving u any action unless they hit there 2outs for a set.
We will get folds alot since its kinda hard for them to have big hands here but we want to build a pot for the times they have Ax/Kx and also get value from random gutshots.

My turn line varies a lot by opponent, but we should generally be looking to get stacks in here, or as close to it as we can by the river. There's two possible lines I like.

For my usual line, you have $22.51 behind in a $4.85 pot. If we pot the turn, we'll have $17.66 behind a $14.55 pot on the river, so we're going to have to over bet somewhere to get stacks in. Thus I probably make the turn bet around $4.25 and just shove the rest in on the river.

However, since this board is so dry, and you have three of the aces locked up, you can consider an alternate line of inducing a bluff/value bet from worse if your opponent is very aggressive. Check back the turn, hoping to shove over any bet he makes on the river. So if your opponent is calling the flop with a hand like QJ that can't stand a turn bet, it gives him an opportunity to turn that into a bluff. Look for a low fold to c-bet percentage and a high aggression factor if you're going to try this.

We have a big hand and want to get stacks in at some point. Sucks that we have the deck crippled though. If villain is a big fish Id just bet 2/3 pot on the flop, 2/3 pot on the turn and jam river. If villain seems competent, Id still probably 2/3-3/4 pot the flop since that is my standard cbet, then bet half pot on the turn and river to try to coax Kx into calling.

I bet $2.75 hoping to keep him in if he was a calling station. Turns out he got unlucky and hit bottom set. In this instance it probably would not have mattered how I played it, stacks would have ended up in the middle. I have been leading out with continuation type bets with my strong hands more often so if anyone is paying attention my continuation bets will get more respect. Thanks for everyone's comments.
