AA flops a set

[Poseidon65]

What do you think about the way I played this? Anyone lead out on the flop here? Anyone just flat call his flop bet?

I don't like the check-raise. A check-raise on a flop like that after a preflop re-raise looks ridiculously strong and I, as the villian, would probably fold anything less than AK while I could see me calling or raising a standard c-bet with other holdings.

A check/call with the intent to collect another bet to a checkraise on the turn might have you giving action to a turned flush but I'd prefer that line over a flop check raise as well.

I really like leading on a board like that.

lead the flop for 70% or so - ~$8. If the turn blanks, I might think about a C/R, but I would probably just lead out again on the turn.

cbet flop

Cbet and pray for a raise.

Given my holding and the action pre-flop, where would you put his range before acting on the flop?

[Hail Eris]

Lead or c/c. His range doesn't have a lot of Aces in it, obviously.

It depends on how much he steals.

I would definitely lead flop here, especially if villain is aggressive since you could reasonably be viewed as aggressively trying to defend you blind.
