I agree with you in a lot of ways. When two players have identical hands, the player with position usually has the upper hand. I was forced to play this entire hand out of position and he could have taken the pot from me on the flop or turn with an aggressive raise. Had I been in his seat, I would have most likely raised the flop bet and then bet 2/3rd-3/3rds the size of the pot on the turn if he called then checked to me. I am a bigger fan of raising right on the flop and not waiting for the turn because so many cards are scare cards here and could hit his range. I don't want to call his flop bet then see an Ace come on the turn and face another bet. So, if I was in his seat... I'm raising the flop. I'm not sure but I think I mentioned that in the original post also.
