Lead flop fold to raise. Check fold turn. Blocking bet river if turn gets checked through.

Yeah, I like this best. There's a chance your hand is best, but it's not great in general, so show some strength and back down if people push back. And I also think a fold is in order facing a bet and a call, even though it becomes clear BB has nothing much.

Wondering, however, if you check raise, would more than just doubling BB's bet be good. Usually I like checkraising when I think my hand is best to 1) get more money in the pot and 2) really force my opponent to define his hand. Here your opponents call 75 into a 345 chip pot and haven't figured out whether or not your ace is better than his ace (or if you're up against a set, two pair or other shenanigans). So if I'm checkraising I'm raising about the size of the pot after the original bet, about 200.

Good thought/bad thought/pointless thought?
