Yes. They don't know what you're playing. If an Ace hits and you bet 3/4 of the pot they may give you credit for AK. If someone calls you then you will have to reevaluate on later streets. If you think the guy has a weak ace, another c-bet on the turn could get him to fold (he'll believe you have a better ace)...or you could be pissing chips away with that bet.

Rep the ace. If you check it then you are putting your cards face up and saying "I don't have an ace, go ahead and bet." Unless, of course, there are four or five callers in the pot with you....then somebody probably has it and I'd give up the hand.

Out of position when an A over flops I check fold with more than 3 people in. People play any ace on loose tables. On the other side, it's funny watching someone min probe bet after preflop raising when an ace flops. You just know they're sitting on QQ or KK thinking "Shit, maybe when he just calls this min bet it means he doesn't have the ace." So many times I wait for them to continue large on the turn confidently, only to reraise the punk.

I've also repped a good ace multiway in good position when the KK or QQ is sitting there probe betting like a fool. You can get bad aces to fold in this spot because of the multiple levels of representation. Raise, Ace calls, You reraise a healthy amount, KK or QQ folds, and A7 sais "I'm outy". It's very tricky though. You have to first know the preflop raiser has an underpair and will fold, and also know that the guy with an ace is smart enough to fold a bad ace.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.
