Some general thoughts...

I usually don't play A3s but I felt with the minimum raise + other players I figured to be calling, it could be profitable... The thought was similar on the flop.

Anyone get aggressive on the turn? Two of the three players were extremely loose, calling with middle, bottom pairs, etc...

I dunno.. cold-calling that raise pf really leaves you in the dark for the rest of the hand; I know it's cliche but I'd probably fold it.

If I wanted to play I'd make it 6 to go on the button... if he reraises, I'd fold. If he calls that pf and checks the flop, I'd pot it and give up if he calls or raises there.

That way you know where you are... if he doesn't have the ace he's going to check/fold the flop after calling your rreraise; if he does have the ace, and by implication outkicks you, he'll stick around and you'll know your beat.

I am kind of a MANIAC at the table though so I'm not sure this advice is sound. (PFR% ~ 15%)
