[AA suited]

I'm doing this off the top of my head.

blinds 50/100

sb= 1000
bb= 2500
utg= 3000
mp= 500
co= 2000 (HERO = J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img])
button= 1000

Preflop:
Hero raises to 250, BB calls

Flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
BB checks, Hero ??? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

no reads.

I normally would do a 1/2 pot continuation bet and represent an Ace. If he calls, i'll hope he checks the turn so I can check for a free river card. if he check raises on flop or bets out on turn, then i should fold (if i dont improve).

But Tigerite suggested that since there's an Ace on the board to check the flop and take a free turn card. Normally I like his suggestions, but this one I had some doubts.

What line would you take, and why?

And would it matter if the flop was A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]?

THX!
