Easy Fold, Right?

[roy_miami]

I usually check the turn when I get called on an Ace high flop and I have a weak kicker whether the board pairs or not. In this situation with the board pairing and us now splitting with most other aces I see no reason to bet the turn except for metagame reasons.

Idiot chasers, queens (primarily), and the FD. Those are some reasons. When the Q pairs here I'm usually inclined to check behind, not so with the 8.
