you preflop raised, and everyone else just called. from first position, BET. represent the ace. you either buy the pot or you find out who has the ace. then you can decide on weather or not you can bluff them out of their ace rag or not. or maybe you catch your queen on the turn or river (depending on how agressive they are). if they come over top of your pot size bet on the flop then fold, quickly.

I would in many cases represent the A, especially if it had been a tournament.
But the idea of catching a Q is not good, as one of the most plausible drawing hands to call you on flop is J 10.

If you want to bet it, analyze your opponents first. How tigth are they? Have you seen them call a lot with draws, but play passively? then check.
If they play very tigth, represent.

Check it and pitch it to any bet. With 3 pre-flop callers, I’m not firing any bet with middle pair. Also, “bluffing them out of their ace rag” wont work because they called the pre-flop bet intending to catch an A…why would they fold when they do?

with these stakes i dont think continuation betting has much of a shot. (well said frank)

This is one of those situations where a bet will almost certainly get called, and if they bet you are either very far behind or only slightly ahead.

Check and Reraise the Weak Ace trying to get him to Fold. If he comes over the Top Fold if he calls your reraise proceed with caution most likley Check/Fold from that point on.

Check/fold.

With 3 others in the pot, someone hit that ace, and someone could easily have A-9 here, especially one of the two limpers. So you will just be giving away your chips. Check, hope to see a free turn, if you don’t, which is most probable, just fold.

first slap yourself for betting 10 preflop, thats a 25 or limp situation…then check, repop a weak bet and fold if he plays w/ you.
