Borgata 40 game, AK suited

Is ep the well to do older lawyer with longish grey hair? if so, he knows he isn't one of the strongest players at the table and is seeing maximum agression from you and the LP, yet he still raises the flop. I haven't played with him in months, but I think AA, KK, or AhKh (if K on flop isn't a heart) is much more likely that QQ, JJ, or anything else you beat.

I would checkraise the turn here for value and call down a raise.

This I don't like.

If we feel like we HAVE to show this hand down, I prefer three-betting the flop, or donking the turn and hoping to induce a raise. If I am going to wait and check-raise the turn in a live game with one pair, I am going to be confident that I can fold to a three-bet. (Online there are situations where I'd check-raise the turn and call down with relative glee if three-bet).

I think that a lot of good reasons have already been mentioned why a turn-check-raise is a strong play here, and I can see why this might top a flop three-bet IF you figure that your opponent could get away from some hands to that much aggression. But this sort of feels like a situation where my slight uneasiness would lead me to play quite straightforwardly and just three-bet the flop and bet away, puking if raised.

Gas the flop!

Results. Villain tabled AA. I feel that I underplayed my hand and it just turned out that the Villain had such a big hand. I was running poorly and that was prob why i played it so soft.
