Weak or standard... ? Does he ever bet anything that I'm ahead of (generally speaking)? He took about 25 seconds before calling preflop, does that change anything?

For better or worse, I usually just bet out here.

[DaHorror]

Next time, bet the flop for 50 cents, then smooth call his reraise.
Then bet the turn for 50 cents too...that usually scares 'em off!
Or at least 60% of low stakes online poker players seem to think so...who are we to disagree?

Opponents thinking:
You raise preflop
You see Ace on flop
You check
You're scared
He wins

Lead out for half pot and check check if possible.

[benny999]

why not check call, or do like dahorror?

Isn't a meaningful bet making him fold anything but an ace but checking lets him bluff at it?

I think I call station the rest off to a 40bb stack who called so much pre flop. or mayyybe fold if he bets strong again on the turn since gabe and irisheyes say they rarely bluff in this spot twice from fear of AAA, except this is a short stack who might be more desperate.
