    Default AA scary flop - how do I play this

    I think normally I would cbet this despite the scary flop but I thought I picked up a timing tell when the flop hit.

    Anway what is optimal play in a situation like this where you have no real reads on a player?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    SB ($2)
    BB ($10.05)
    UTG ($0.58)
    Hero (MP) ($8.77)
    CO ($8.56)
    Button ($4.69)

    Preflop: Hero is MP with A, A
    1 fold, Hero raises to $0.20, 3 folds, BB calls $0.15

    Flop: ($0.42) Q, Q, J (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero ??

    Without a read, I'd make a pot-sized bet in the micros, timing tell or not. I'd likely fold to a solid raise here though, even though that gives up a lot of value to the semibluff.

    Am i wrong, good players of this site?

    I can say with more confidence though that you shouldn't give too much weight to timing tells when you have no other reads on a player (i.e. you haven't seen him give the same timing tell before or something).

    Bet something like 3/4 pot to get value out of other pairs and draws. Qx and JJ are a minority of his range.

    I pot it, because I get value from draws
    I think you get calls from oesds and flush draws
