id probably consider check raising then just bet out and hope someone has a weaker ace.

I like a C/R on the flop here. Villain will almost surely bet, AA is only one of the possible hands he would cap with. We are pretty certain we are ahead. If we bet out, villain in all likelihood will raise, making CO face two cold. It's a drawless board, so I think we really want to keep CO in to build the pot. C/R'ing is the best way to do this. BB may even 3-bet your C/R which would force CO to pay even more, or just abandon his money in the pot.

I bet right out.

I figure there is a reason you post this and that is not the answer you are looking for so I will indulge you. By not betting out you encourage KK,QQ,JJ to bet to the river wheras they might fold to your flop bet afraid of the ace. But you could also get lots of bets off of AQ or AJ or maybe even the buttons Ax. Plus you must consider that KK, QQ, or JJ may pay you off anyway even raising and such to "keep you honest"

Reads would be helpful.

...checks.

I'll hopefully let others elaborate.

I'd bet out, since my application of the check raise has been backfiring way too much lately. Also, with 2 people in for a capped preflop I think they'd be staying in with a lot of different hands, and expecting you to have a crappier hand than you have. Depending on the turn, that's when I would try for a check-raise (or just bet out again).

The problem with betting is that they may fold. You assume you have the best hand so I think you check.call and then bet/raise the turn where you are going to make more bling.

right shill? isnt this the lesson from crumpets hand the other day?

n00b grunching...

Bet it and 3 bet it if the opportunity presents. If villian is continuing the steal attempt, he may check through hoping to increase his leverage when the bet doubles, so no checkraise.

I think you bet out on the flop. If they have a pocket pair, or a weaker ace you don't want to give them a free card. They'll be getting 13-1 on their call, so they are probably correct in calling, but I really don't like letting them see the turn for free.

And given the pre-flop action, there is a good possibility of a raise which I think you should 3-bet or cap.

I think you have the best hand. I am not afraid of AA here. I think there is a much greater chance he has KK, QQ, JJ, AQ...

I think I check, let the BB bet, then raise and hopefully have the button trapped in the middle to call one more. I then lead the turn. I think if your playing this hand to make the most money, this is the way to do it. If you wait to checkraise the turn he may decided to let it go through. But I think he is betting this flop no matter what, so I like the check/raise...
