AK with Ace flop

Party $11 no reads on villian, so figure typical player at this level. After the cold call on the flop whats my play? I mean the range possible here is huge right, but especially Ax, but really any pair, low or high including 99 & 10 10 & AA but it also could be any two cards period completely unrelated to the flop. So 1st, how is my line here and second, what are some suggested ways of dealing with this situation?

Your line looks fine to me. What'd he have, 94?

Just go ahead and get it in however you can. At higher levels, you can play this more cautiously because of the cooridinated nature of the board, but in the 11s, people are so willing to pay off with bad aces that you just have to suck it up and jam.

I'd say this is standard at the 11s. Most of the time you're ahead. I'm guessing he probably had A9 or AT, but I think you're getting the same sort of action on a weaker ace most of the time at this level.
