Having an ace lets you check behind and win sometimes on the river if it turns out he was chasing a flush or makes a very loose calldown.

My opinion on this hand may be prejudiced though by the fact that in my last session I was sitting right behind a very weak/loose player who folded on the turn to me several times when I used this line on him with just draws... I knew he usually wouldn't have a very strong hand there and that he needed a big hand to look me up with (I'd won most hands that were shown down so he thinks I've got a big hand to keep firing with). But this was shorthanded so I guess in full ring the players won't play the flop as aggressively with marginal hands? We really don't have any information on how MP3 plays postflop. I've just gone with the assumption that he'll be betting a wide range there, if that's not the case then folding would certainly be best.
