I think you are getting all your money in with any ace no matter how you play this hand. So now, I'd focus on how to get other hands to pay you off. Therefore, I'd check the flop. You don't have that much money behind you. So let's say he tries to buy the pot on the turn and bets 100. You can call and have 115 behind you. Now if he checks the river, you're all in is 115 making it 115 to call in a 455 pot, he might call with a wide range of hands cause you've priced him in.

Well that's precisely why I'm asking this question. I really don't have a good line here against an unknown. My inital thought was PSB. My order of lines that I ended up thinking were best were 1) push 2) PSB 3) check

Thanks for your feeback/thoughts. I guess if he does bet and I flat call and he check the river, he is pretty much commited himself for remainig ~100 to see the cards. If he does have an ace, the money is going in. If not a gave him an opportunity to hang himself.

Default Result

Villian stews for a while and then grumbles to himself about that he should have pushed pre-flop. He says something to the effect that he doesn't think I have an Ace, says good bet and flips over his Kings into the muck.

Perhaps a check would have been best? I dunno.

After he mucks, I of course say, "you're read was spot on. I didn't have an ace."

I stick with $100. Pot is around $180 on flop, you have $225 left. Pot makes you look committed. $100 looks like a non committing probe bet.

This my primary thing. Which line will bring along PP the best. Putting 2/3rds in... or pushing? I didn't expect villian to have kings. I was thinking likely JJ or QQ. Not that it makes a big difference here, but if he suspect I have JJ or QQ, he may make a move. What's the best way to induce this?
