Thoughts on pre-flop and flop? How often do you continue through with a cb when an A flops here, compared to your normal cb%? What are you raising to pre-flop?

I raise pot (so bet around $30 instead of $23) and bet around 2/3 pot on the flop.
I cbet around 100% of the time with or without an ace.

In this situation its important to get a read if you can. Otherwise i'd bet 2/3 pot regardless. You are gambling she does not have an A, if you are raiser PF and its HU its almost always EV+ to bet (unless board is like A-J-K or soemthign ridiculous and u know thy made soemthing.). If she dosnt have A, she will almost surely folded because there isnt much else she cna have hit with that flop. If she calls you are either up againt a pkt pair or A. If you get called, the turn will be very dificult for you, but i think the flop bet is in order.
on turn if you check and she checks beind u can bet your hand with confidence, if theres a reasonable bet than you are in a tough situation, it will cme down to your read.

one more thing...is she the type of player to raise with small pkt pair? If so theres a small chance u are facing a set (so be careful if u get raised or called for big bets)

preflop is standard. I tend not to raise pot because I'm looking for callers. I raise slightly less than pot preflop. I think your raise was spot on.

Flop I cbet 2/3 pot every time. If I'm called its check/fold. I guess cbet size may vary slightly depending on the flop (not dependant on my hand), between 2/3 and full pot.
