I fold, but more important if you don't know what you want to do if he check raises here, you should check behind. Your hand is OK but not one you're wanting to play a big pot with. If you check behind you keep the pot small enough that you can call most rivers and try and pick him off or even get him to bet something like A3 for value.

You beat A2, A3, A4, and A7 and any bluff. You lose to A9+, and any set or 2 pair. Out of these hands which do you really think is most likely?

This is an instafold for me (well actually I think I along with everyone else hollywoods for 5-10 seconds to make it look like we have at least AJ before we fold).

Thanks guys. I put him on 2 pair+ and folded my hand.

I think you have to fold the turn. However, pay attention to your flop bets. I noticed that you bet the same on the flop as you did preflop. This looks weak to me and could be a ticket for a thinking player to float you and push the turn.
