With only one over card to my pair, I almost always bet (It is funny how many times everyone will fold to a bet on a turn Ace). If you are raised, you can fold comfortably in the knowledge that you are beat (this can be read dependent, though). The problem comes with the river. If you are first to act, you often don't want to bet into 2 people with an Ace on the board after no folds to a turn bet. However, betting a turn Ace (with, say, pocket 10's) when you are last to act, often gets you a free showdown. Oh, and don't be too scared when three to a suit hits, the guy with the flush will usually let you know--you can usually bet into these safely as well.
