Any reads?
Against a tighty I raise preflop, otherwise I complete. I am not sure if that's best tho.
On that flop I value bet as well, unless he's very LAGG and won't fold.

As mattie indicated, reads are important.

To his other point, I almost never complete preflop. You have a hand that is a favorite against a random hand, but it is not big enough that you want to encourage action. Plus you will be out of position post flop. It's definitely better to employ some fold equity and raise pre.

A c-bet here is standard, but many opponents will think that means you don't have the A. It comes down to reads to me: how likely is opps pf call to be an A? How likely is he to play back at us if he doesn't have it, but he thinks we're bluffing? Is he aware enough to think us NOT c-betting is usually a trap?
