u need to throw a feeler bet out there just to see where your at.betting here could scare out someone else with a jack or someone with a busted ace or u might take the pot down right there.if u bet in that position the flush draw might have folded leaving u with the boss hand.u dont need a strong hand to bet u need a strong hand to call a bet.theres nothing wrong with repping the ace when u dont have it cuz nobody knows if u have it or not.
