We also have to worry that our opponent with no pair has a better ace than us. I agree making a pair fold in this spot is tough, but how often can we make a better ace fold?

In my opinion we make a better Ace fold almost never. My point is that--after his checkraise--we have way the worst of it if more than one bet per street goes in unless we improve. Retaking the initiative:

1) Opens us up to punishment from better hands and those that are currently worse but pass us

2) Gains us nothing when he has a worse hand unless he won't fire three barrels with it

3) Exposes us to the risk of getting knocked off of the best hand if he shows further aggression with a draw unless we are willing to make an expensive calldown
