If I have Ace Jack, I'm worried about Big Slick.
So are you saying that you auto-fold AJ on A-high dry flops vs. a cbet? And are you saying that most players can easily fold top pair vs. a flop cbet? I certainly hope not.

So I assume you are firing again after your flop bet then if you are betting for value? If so then double barreling dry A-high boards with KK can't be +EV.
well on the turn if we are first to act yes we must double barrel. basically at micro stakes you keep beting untill they give you reason to stop. sure you might feel foolish when they just falt call you all the way but remember we are playing loose calling stations for the most part. We are not really beting to figure out if we are infront or behind the ace we bet the flop and turn to get value out of pocket pairs or any pair they made on the flop. also they will call with all kinds of draws. now if their are no draws on the board and they call the flop and turn then you must give strong thought to them having an ace. i don't like checking the flop as i think it is really weak. We don't get value from bad calls and we give them control of the pot. now if we are last to act and they call on the flop and check the turn we should usually check behind
