Most likely someone came in with a strong ace. Should i just let this hand go? Or try and represent the A myself? Vs two opponents i usually just check/fold or check/call weak here. Against 1 would you continue?

I cbet it.
stacks are deep.

[Blinky]

I bet. 1/2 pot maybe (at least 100)!?

You have no idea what others are calling with preflop. If you get two callers you're probably done.

Also I generally avoid raising only 3BB with a high pocket pair when the blinds are so low. Doubly so because of your position.

Continue.

I would bet half-pot and see if that eliminates one of them. If he's check-calling, he's either got a flush draw or a weak ace that he could be pushed off.

Fold if reraised or bet strongly into on the turn or river if you don't hit your two-outer.

[Muxy]

Continuation bet.

[a500lbgorilla]

Check/fold, reval on the turn.

It's 3 ways and an ace is the most likely card an op will have.

i check call most anything less than the size of the pot, then i reavaluate on turn.

[FlyingSaucy]

I'll check and fold to just about any moderately sized bet. In fact min bets are about the only thing I'd call this early on.
