				  $25nl - Aces facing aggression on the flop
			
			
					
					
			
				
					
						Raise more preflop is going to be a common response, and I can understand why.   Im out of the BB and raise to 4xBB and there are 3 limpers in the pot, a bigger raise probably would have been better but I dont think it made a big difference, if you disagree please say so.   
 
Anyways, I raise and get one call. Flop comes pretty coordinated and I bet the pot [after rake].  Villain minraises me to about $6, any standard sized 3bet is going to make me pot committed, so I simply push.  There are going to be a lot of scare cards on the turn, so I want to simply get the money in here.  I only had about 20 hands on villain so I cant judge much based on that, but he was aggressive postflop. 
 
Against an opponent who has shown aggression postflop before, how do you respond when holding aces on a coordinated board?
