Re: I don\'t know how play this situation.
Nick said it all, you have to bet here. This is called a continuation bet because you were the original raiser and your continuing your aggression on the flop. You should bet 1/2 to 3/4 of the pot here, depending on how scary is the board and what's the read on your opponent. If he doesn't have an A or even if he has an A with a weak kicker, he'll be thinking twice before calling (or raising) your bet. He has a difficult decision to make, and this can only help you.
Remember that you might be affraid of the A on the board, but that A might be a scary card for him as well.
Note: someone said that you should make a probe bet, but since you're the original raiser, your bet is not a probe. Your opponent's small bet is a probe. Probe bets are usually ~1/3 of the pot.
