Flop Analysis
Betting small is the preferred strategy here. We have a significant range advantage on monotone boards, and our Ah is a critical blocker to the nut flush.
On a monotone flop, use small sizing to leverage your range advantage, then check back air on pairing turns.

Checking back is mandatory. The board pairing reduces the likelihood of the BB having a flush, but it also improves their 6x holdings and we have zero showdown value.
Folding is the only play. The BB's lead represents a polarized range of flushes, straights, or boats, and our A-high beats absolutely nothing in their value or bluff range.
