Here's what went though my tiny mind in that few seconds between the Button showing a folded ace and the relase of my chips for my 3-bet.

Villain is good tight player who seldom gets out of line. He knows that I play as tight of a game as he does, but probably does NOT know my pf range UTG is as wide as it is. His cold-call pf shows respect for my UTG raise, but is not good enough to reraise, but yet too good to fold. There are some good players who will still give too much respect for my pf raises and cold-call with groups like QQ, TT, 88 and under as well as groups like AK, AQ, AJ.

Seeing the ace folded from the Button's hand preflop, I figure one of us would convince the other who doesn't have the other two aces. I was going to test which group of hands he has, and hopefully fold him by the turn. If he indeed has a big ace, I was sure I was going to find out quickly.

Yeah, I know, pretty thin raise.
