Question 2 I'm checking behind him since I was stupid enough to let him beat me with any A.

I think it was Brunson who said the problem with AA, KK is that you tend to win a small pot or lose a big one. I am always happy to win a small pot - the alternative really hurts.

I think to check behind him would show that I was scared of that ace. His check seems weak to me as I would think if he had an ace he would bet into me. By betting the pot, if he had hit the ace then he would likely re raise me all in, in which case I could lay the kings down and still have 1600 chips.

It's four-handed and you are UTG. You have 3500 chips, player one (to your left) has 1500, player two has 2000, and player three (to your immediate right) has about 3000. Over the last ten hands since it became four-handed, you have raised preflop 4 times -- twice from the button (you got the blinds), once from the BB with a solid hand you showed down, and once from UTG, where you were forced to fold to a re-raise. Before that point in the game you had played tight, but quite aggressive preflop, sometimes opening with a 5xBB raise instead of your standard 3xBB.
You are dealt KK. You're excited, but wouldn't it suck to just pick up the 100/200 blinds at this point? I mean, come on, that's just a waste of a great hand.
QUESTION ONE -- WHAT DO YOU DO HERE? ARE YOU UPSET IF YOU JUST PICK UP THE BLINDS, OR DO YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT THE RESULT?
From here, lets make the assumption that you raised to 600 and were called only by the big blind (player three -- 3000 chips). You barely have your opponent covered. The flop comes out A85 rainbow. Your opponent checks.
QUESTION TWO -- DO YOU BET OR CHECK? HOW MUCH? WHY?
