How to play this hand against a solid player?
[/ QUOTE ]
You realize, I hope, that this Villain isn't solid.
Given that, you're showing down, and I think your line is all right.
Against a more solid player, it's a tough situation. You'd probably be beat on the flop, but there would be the question of whether or not you could push him off of a better pocket pair. (And also the question of whether he happened to have KQ or a lower pocket pair than yours.)
What I would probably do is just check-call down and take my lumps. If there were just one ace on the flop, against a solid player, I guess I would probably either check-fold the flop or check-call the flop with the plan of check-folding the turn UI if Villain bet again.
However, versus your actual opponent, I think getting your hand to showdown is a good idea. If I was going to give a little action first, I would probably begin with a flop checkraise (as opposed to a flop lead).
