HEPFAP SH theory suggests that you "ignore" the top card in HU, just pretend it's not there. This is applicable in this situation since the button has a high ASB% who's hand range is wide. So going solely on the basis of this, you at least have a call on the flop based on your "overcards" to the board's 2nd card. Then, if an obvious c/r card doesn't hit (like a [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]) on the turn, you can bluff c/r representing the Ace. A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] hitting on the turn would make it less likely to push him out of the hand if he's got a big diamond, or less likely to push him out with a hand like 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] because your c/r now looks like a semi-bluff with a flush draw.

Waiting until the turn is a bit more expensive but is more believable than a flop c/r. How often does this have to work to show a profit? Pot on the flop is 4.5 SB. You're spending 3 SB's to win 6. So, minus rake this has to work more than 1 in 3 times.

Also, FWIW my ASB is about 36% and I take it down most of the time on the flop when an Ace hits, whether I have one or not. Also, if my flop continuation bet gets called on an Ace-high flop, I'm usually done putting money in the pot unless the flop is pretty draw heavy. Obviously this is pretty player dependent too.
