I don't really think he has an ace here often unless it is AQ. I don't see him flatting your 3b with a worse ace and with AK he's more than likely re-raising. I am c-betting this flop as I think you are definitely being called by worse a good amount of the time. If called you can re-evaluate on the turn and take it from there. I just think check giving up on this flop is just way too weak of a line to take.

 i would probably betfold 40k or so. gotta rep that ace yourself

i think this is the optimal play(id bet 35k i guess), or check raising but i dont like just giving up without trying.

@benny:i think with this stats he has UTG normally not many more aces than AK,AQ in his range.

I cbet flop. With you're image you'll still get called by smaller pairs and sometimes be able to take it down there. If called I ck the turn expecting him to ck behind most of the time if he doesn't have an ace. If he bets the turn I just fold. If you get to the river you can bet small as a blocker/value bet and maybe get a call from a smaller pair or check and decide wether or not you want to call a bet from him. Haven't been playing much online and I'm a little rusty so I may be way off here.

Cbet fold makes the most sense in retrospect. Stacks are plenty deep enough. My fold was way too passive. My thought process was over run at the time by “saving chips and getting him next time”. Spending a few extra seconds on my decision making process may have resolved this clear mistake, thanks.

Its funny that it’s not until you post a hand in this forum that the play becomes obvious.
