Hero...?

Villain's play has been standard, won a pot early on and has generally been pretty quiet.

I make it 240 pf with the limper. I'd probably call his re-raise and check-call flop (if he has AA then good for him).

I think the interesting way to play this hand is to simply check, not because we suspect we're beat, but because we want him to try to bet us off our hand with a weaker hand. Most likely had JJ-QQ here and he's almost always c-betting on the flop so I think we check to him... theres like 760 left in his stack with a 1200 pot, I would imagine his bet would be allin on the flop, if it is not then I would recommend calling and betting the rest on any turn. If he checks behind then I would just bet 350 or 760 on the turn, you decide

If you call the preflop raise you have to get it all in with a flop like this IMO. Shoving PF is far better than calling.

As played I check/raise because its fairly likely he will bet at this pot with or without an Ace. If he follows with a check I'm shoving the turn.
