Thought about this for about 10 sec at the time, still not sure if a worse hand calls enough to make a bet worth it. I don't see a king as likely, but 66, 77 are possible, and a two or 8 will certainly raise me and make me fold. Overall, I think it is a good value bet since I think a lot of aces will call here, but would like the thoughts of others.

No oppinions? Clear Bet, Clear check behind, could go either way?

Do you believe a lone ace will bet from the SB into a field of 4 players? I think this smells like a deuce to me, but he may be trying to trap you. I think raising the flop may not be a bad idea, if you bet the turn also and don't get raised you will probably get a free showdown. Correct me if im wrong, but I think raising the flop, betting the turn/folding to a CR and checking behind on the river sounds like a pretty good line to me.
