How is my play? Would you be betting more aggressively? More slowly?

with those stack sizes in relation to the $400 bb, I would raise to $1200 preflop, and push flop

If you're going to raise preflop, raising 3X is not good.

Make it at least 2000

I'd bet the flop, thinking I'm ahead as I'd expect CO to raise PF if he had a bigger Ace. I'd bet a little over 1/2 the pot, and consider slowing down if called.

i pop it to 1600 pf, push any flop. If original limper calls you will effectivly push 4000 into 3550 pot.

any reads? whats he limp with in the past

Yeah, I mean, 2000 preflop is where you need to go with this; as played, this is fine. Nothing wrong with checking the flop when an A hits on this board, you get value out of weaker midpairs who think you are stealing later on. nh.
