The flop wasn't so good for Aces. The turn was awesome though.

EDIT: In response to WillWonka's questions:

Nice check on the flop. Would you mind telling us your thought process there? Was this just pot control? Had you bet and he raised.. could you have called?

I checked behind on the flop for a few reasons. He cold called my 3 bet out of position, so I really felt like he his range was (from most likely to least likely) a big Ace (AK, AQ, AJ), a big pair TT-QQ, any other pair, possibly two face cards or suited connectors. For some reason, before the flop I really felt like he had AK since he had been either 4 betting or laying down hands to 3 bets oop pf.

Given his range and the dynamics of the table/my image, I felt like the most value could be gained by checking the flop. (I think that he folded to two of my preflop 3 bets before this.) If I bet, he is folding almost all hands that I beat and either calling or raising with hands that beat me. He was also capable of bluffing me off my hand in this spot, so if I bet and he raises big then I probably have to lay my hand down or flat call and see how he reacts on the turn.

If the turn was a blank, I would probably have bet $35-$45 and hopefully check down the river if he called the turn bet (applies to how I thought this player would play the hand). I felt like he might call a turn bet with AJ, QQ, TT, QJ and possibly some mid pairs because of my flop check.

Pot control was part of the equation. I didn't want the pot to get big enough where I would be committed against his range - especially on a flop that hits a lot of his range.

I would have probably bet the flop if it wasn't a rainbow flop.
