Interesting responses. I am surprised that everyone is so dismissive about slowplaying this.

My thought when the ace hit, is that he will probably only call if the ace helped him, and there's only one left in the deck. If I check, it might look suspicious, but if I make a bet that looks like I want a call I think he will fold.

Checking might look like I didn't like the ace as well.

I did check, and he quickly bet the pot.

Now obviously I hope he has a smaller set and I will surely stack him off if he does. I don't know how likely this is because he didn't raise my flop bet. Smoothcalling the bet doesn't really get me anywhere, because I will have to lead into him on the river for fear of giving him a cheap showdown.

So I set him in after he bet and he quickly folded. I assume he held some kind of medium pocket pair.

Thanks for the input.
