Raise and maybe clean up a bigger Ace, or call and keep the customer behind you in?

I'd call here. Its very unlikely you're gonna knock out any bigger Aces on this board if they are out there.

I raise. CO will call two as easily as one.

Wait, i thought the point of the raise was to pick up an ace as an out in the case that the CO has a bigger ace.

raise for semibluff value.

Re: PP 7 handed 15/30 flop decision
 

So I assume if it gets headsup with flop better that you will bet a turn that doesn't improve your hand in hopes that he folds?

Re: PP 7 handed 15/30 flop decision
 

i diskile the preflop raise with a weak hand. now on to the question. clearly at least you call, the raise is your question? i think a bigger A probably won't fold if you reraise the flop, and if you had position you could reraise to get a free card. here i am not sure what you gain by reraising with a hand that is not best. i call.

Re: PP 7 handed 15/30 flop decision
 

if he had many opponents who had already called 1 bet, then reraising with great odds to the nut flush would be correct. here it gains him nothing - he probably doesn't have the best hand, he won't lose people with a better A, and his odds of making his hand vs the pot odds are not correct for a reraise.

We don't think there's any chance that LAGgy SB is plugging a flush draw or staight draw? I raise, take a free card on a turn, and quite possibly show ace-high at showdown.
