Any better way to play this? Can I just check with aces on that flop and possibly give free cards? I don't think so..

its a fine play. with your big reraise, its unlikely that the opponent is on an unpaird hand. if he has AKdiamonds, thats just too lucky. because you have taken away the implied odds by getting so much of your stack in the middle when you had the nuts, you need to go through with this the whole way (assuming that 40$ put opponent all in. if you are still both very deep, its probably a spot to proceed cautiously).

if hes on red KK or QQ, hes picked up outs, and wont be folding.

With the PF action I think you are fine. Only two saw the flop so I am not going to fear the flush here. If someone has it, he is just lucky. Hehe.

Yep, that's what I was thinking. Too bad he was lucky this time, but I'll get his stack next time we meet

Preflop I like to triple the bet because now he has pot / implied odds against you with only $9 more to call.

Your flop play should be a pot sizd bet or put them all in if they are a shortstack, chances are they dont have the flush, but maybe a draw, and alot of times you take their stack here.
