So friday night, during a "friendly" mixed game, an interesting hand came up that I wasn't sure how to play. The game was Crazy Pinapple (for those who don't know: you are dealt 3 cards, discard one after the round of flop betting, otherwise it is like holdem) and was being played as NL. We are 5 handed. I have my opponent in this hand well covered, and his mind is on taco bell, not poker.
I raise 4x the BB preflop with AAQ (AQs) from late position, and am called by the big blind, who is hungry for a chalupa. Flop comes KKJ with one of my suit, and the BB leads oud for approx pot sized bet. Action is to me, and I am at a bit of a loss. If he has a king, I am drawing to two outs if I keep my aces, or 4 if I toss one (unless he has KJ or K10, in which case I am drawing dead). If he has a jack, an underpair, or Q10 for the OESD, my aces are the best hand and it would be suicide to toss them.
so problem A) call, fold or raise
and problem B) keep my aces, or go with the gutshot?

I would definitely keep the aces or fold, since a pot sized bet is way to much to call with a gutshot.
A little more information would help decide how to proceed.
Is he aggressive or completely the opposite? What is his body language?
Since he seems to have his mind on something else, it is almost as if he is trying to seem as harmless as possible, as to not scare you away.
I would call and see what he does on the turn.

This is totaly read dependant - if he is a tight player I would fold. For a loose player is it a pretty good flop to bluff - so I may come over the top.
Without a read I would fold. You have no idea where you stand and you are likely to face a bigger bet on the turn.
Regarding question b: If I stick around I am definitly keeping the pair of A's.

My reputation swings towards maniac, and he is actually fairly tight when he is not drinking so I took a chance that he was semibluffing with a jack or a straight draw or thought he has the best hand with a medium pair, and came over the top. He folded, and I never saw his hand.
