I thought I would hate this but I think it is pretty decent. There are only 3 lower aces that you could be ahead of A2, A5 and A6 so that makes it doubtful that this is a weaker ace. If the villian had played back at you on the flop I would have called down, but the waiting for the turn makes it seem a lot less like a PP making a play at you.

Also a perfect semi bluff card on the turn, but i guess a fold isnt bad in this spot.

Id lean towards calling down. You probably have a few more outs than you think.

I don't like it. I'd rather call it down.

Call down. A lot of players will play back on the turn if they think you are trying to bully with a steal. If you get beat take some notes on the player.
