If you knew he had the ace, like you say, then the right play is to bet all in on the river, he will not fold.

With two limpers shouldn't he bet the flop to protect against the draw?

Bet the flop - do you want Ah9h or 67 sticking around?I also probably (not always) would have checked the ace turn....see who's willing to represent it.Plus, as stated, if you're certain he's got an Ace, put all your chips in the middle...he'll be hard pressed to fold knowing only the last two aces, or the last eight, kill him.

I agree, I would try to get a bet from the A on the turn, with no pre-flop raise a weak A could definelty be a possibility. It's risky, but if you chase out the flush draws on the flop, you might get people to think this is a scare card and they'll bluff at it, or make it more likely they'll call on the river.Bet the flopCheck/raise the turn.Big bet the river.
