im thinkin a check here would be smart. With the call of a large reraise in front of you, Im thinking another large pair could be out there, and I dont see AA or KK betting at this, but they would reraise, putting you in a tough spot.

Let the Turn come, and reevaluate on turn (I feel this is the best, and it should make you more clear on turn unless a QK or A falls. Then my play hurts big time)

I'd like to see how the hand played out.

gator is a pretty good agressive player. I'm not sure what he's doing leading out and checking here... that kinda worries me or makes me wonder about ak. I'm not sure who kev is or what he cold calls here, that's pretty interesting also. Fgators could 3 bet light especially someone I know is playing agressively like you phil. Maybe he 3 bets AK, AQ, AJ, medium PP and checks this flop to evaluate bets... but maybe he checks the flop because he has AA and knows its safe and that you are very agressive and will bet. I have no idea what kev is doing and who he is. I would bet out half the pot and give it up if anyone calls or plays back. you are a dog to AK with a flush draw and lots of stuff either of these two could have. bet 35 and have no problem tossing it if one of them shoves is my vote.
