Default Stars $11 R+A - 77 During 100/200 - Line?

Read this hand history and tell me your thoughts. I never really know what to do in these situations. Small blind has a million chips, so he's not folding to anything. It seems like playing these hands always ends up -EV for me. Anyway, what are your thoughts here?

you really need to bet these flops. Your turn action sucks and you're spewing here.

a continuation bet will take it down enough on the flop. if he calls or c/r's you are done.

I'm surprised to see him calling you with A10 here...

I would have asked myself if this guy is capable of throwing away an Ace here if I make a strong looking bet. I would check it if I was first to act to make a check-raise but hmm I don't think I would ever check it here since I really want to represent an nice hand. If he check-raise, ok, im beat but he may just call and check the turn and then I auto push it.

Im not sure I like your push on the turn, I would say it was ok if you bet the flop since it would had more power to it then.

I would consider not contination betting an ace high flop, a leak. You have a much better chance of winning the pot on the flop than the turn, especially if he only has just a queen. Cont Bet then check/down/fold if he calls. I'm not a big fan of raising small pairs anyway, things get too sticky when overcards fall.

If this is true I'd limp for set value or just fold preflop.
