fold the flop.

but really at this level just raise preflop.

If you don't take the initiative preflop by re-raising, no need to call a decent continuation bet when the A flops. Just let it go.

I would have re-raised preflop to $4 or $5, however. The hand might have played a lot differently that way. I still might have to fold, however, if villain just calls the reraise then leads into me on the A-high flop for a significant amount. I'd probably give him credit for AK at that point and let it go.
