Hero....?

I can think of 3 different lines that have some merit, but I'm not sure which one is best.

C/r seems safe. Bettor almost assuredly has trip aces and will bet the river.

PS. Still getting my Brazillian wax you saw me taking earlier at $5-$10. Come back and join the fun.

Edit: Whoops. Missed the middle man. Bet call is probably better.

bet/call

I like bet/call, trap homeboy in the middle.

donk with the intention of 3-betting. I think CO has an ace here a lot and will raise enough of the time with it to make the donk profitbale. Plus you might be able to trap UTG for some bets before he calls it quits.

I like bet-call because the board pair is an A, you'll probably get 1 bet twice from UTG's big pair or weak-played A, and you may get a raise out of a non-FH from CO, counteracting the times he was dicking around and checks behind.

I like this too. Could somebody going with bet/call explain why it is better than bet/3bet?

I'd go for a bet/3bet.

We probably don't want to call a cap, and the 3 bet faces the middle man with 2 cold.

Because even a donk may lay down KK-JJ to a 2nd and 3rd bet and we're going to get capped against MPs FH. So, we're basically freerolling that once we get raised on the river MP has trips and not a FH. (And I think he has a FH over half the time.)
