I think you can b/f here a lot. BBs hand actually probably contains an A a suprising amount of he time (Ax is everyone's favorite stack off hand), and it is unlikely that the villain is going to bluff raise in a protected pot.

if you've seen this guy bluff raise the turn before by all means b/c or c/c and get to a SD, but I need a read before I do anything but b/f the turn.

i think the lines b/f c/c, b/f b/f, c/c c/c, c/c c/f are pretty darn close here absent other information about the villain except that he's aggressive. we are essentially fighting only for a certain fraction of the pot since if villain doesn't have an ace, bb often has it (between 1/3 and 1/2 of the time).

c/f unless co is a total mouthbreather

c/c'ing down is really terrible
