What do you guys think is the best way to deal with playing A high flops after 3 betting jj-kk with effective stacks of 100 bbs? Also assuming that our opponent is fairly competent and has the ability to bluff us both if we check to him, and if we c-bet flop.
Also how does the situation change if our stacks become larger. I feel like the deeper you are the more u should c-bet, but here's a situation where I didn't that sucked.

well at this point i call since we have outs and he could be bluffing and if we call two he'll probably puss out on river bluffs.
Played it fine. You pretty much have to check these flops with KK-JJ versus most.

Isn't this turning our hand face up? I don't mind checking them, if you also check AK/AQ here sometimes as well.
I think I remember Gabe making this post before, about checking A high flops with KK, but I think he was talking about IN position.
I don't mind checking KK here, but I'd probably bet JJ or something, as there are more cards that villain can hit to beat us.

Yeah, but I guess checking QQ here isn't that bad either because instead of a two outer in case of a pp your opponent has a 3-outer if he's behind
