If you are going to call preflop isn't it a good idea to bet a scare card on the flop? You don't have odds to call and set mine. Either give up preflop or bet the ace on the flop. He could easily have something like JJ. If you bet flop it looks like you have AK, and I think you take it down enough there to make it profitable.

Bet 2/3 pot on flop and then give up on it is my action as played.

Could be wrong though.
