Most likely someone came in with a strong ace. Should i just let this hand go? Or try and represent the A myself? Vs two opponents i usually just check/fold or check/call weak here. Against 1 would you continue?

I bet. 1/2 pot maybe (at least 100)!?

You have no idea what others are calling with preflop. If you get two callers you're probably done.

Also I generally avoid raising only 3BB with a high pocket pair when the blinds are so low. Doubly so because of your position.

I would bet half-pot and see if that eliminates one of them. If he's check-calling, he's either got a flush draw or a weak ace that he could be pushed off.

Fold if reraised or bet strongly into on the turn or river if you don't hit your two-outer.

Check/fold, reval on the turn.

It's 3 ways and an ace is the most likely card an op will have.

Smithers, use the amnesia ray.
You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

I'll check and fold to just about any moderately sized bet. In fact min bets are about the only thing I'd call this early on.
