PF: Bet in order to protect my hand as it is very likely I'm ahead.
F: I'm still very likely to be ahead, could get a weaker A to call me, maybe TT+ or possible flush draw. Could bet maybe a little bigger ($0.25) though.
T: I'm not very confident get value from too many weaker aces here so I turn my hand into a bit of a bluff-catcher (though it's unlikely villain has many hands to turn into a bluff here, possibly TT+ which didn't fold to flop bet?).
Think I shouldn't give up initiative when I've got the best hand. It is easier to react to my opponent when he 2-bets me rather than letting him bet.
R: Seems very strong but I've shown great weakness, this is why I shouldn't give up initiative.
