Re: Simple hand vs Robert Williamson, WSOP ME day 1.
I would 3bet the flop most of the time since I'm OOP, but calling given that he raised post-flop for the first time is OK. Once you call the flop, you should check the turn. After he checks behind on the turn, I'd probably bet the river, his line really looks like a weaker non-paired ace at this point. In my experience, raising the flop with a paired Ace and crap kicker is a very standard play. It is designed more to find out where you are rather than freeze your opponent.
Don't sweat not betting the river. Had you done so, he probably would have said "Check" and quickly turned over his cards.
