As Reef says, depends somewhat on stack sizes, but in general I bet about 1/2 pot, on a continuation, looking like a feeler bet... I realize that this opens up the flush draw but meh, you can't just push everyone off if you want to make money. Assuming a caller and no flush on turn, I'm then hitting it with a 3/4 pot bet.
You certainly should lead out here, if only to make FD's pay to see the turn. Not sure if 1/2psb will be enough, so I would go maybe 3/4psb personally. On the turn, even with a flush making it and considering stacks, I would likely push almost anything.

Not going 1/2 pot to price out flush draws, well aware of the be cautious if flush pot hits on turn situation, however I'm trying to look weak and get someone to push here. This really depends on effective stack sizes to make a proper decision. I know some ppl who will put me on the flush draw here and perhaps misread and push flop..... Happened just recentley in fact, I didn't have AA but did have top set of 10's, similar situation.
is this after the flop or preflop? (i'm assuming after flop and i'm assuming you're acting last since it was checked around to you)
i'd bet out 3/4 pot. if spade hits on turn i re-evaluate. if no spade i might be inclined to push it all in on the turn since i don't want flush draws to get a free card and busted flushes aren't calling any river bets anyway (pot is big enough imo to take it down here - with 1 flop caller of your 60 bet the pot is around 200 and you have 340 behind - more than 1 caller i'm for sure pushing it all in).
if someone is slowplaying a lower set you're probably felting them here. and AK-AJ would have probably bet the flop i'd imagine so you can probably eliminate those hands. any other holdings are folding on your flop bet most likely.
some might think that that's too aggressive but i don't like to fool around too much when the pot is more than half my stack. also, you'd be surprised at how many crappy hands will call your overbets thinking you're just trying to push them off the hand (i.e. if AK did check/call the flop i wouldn't be surprised if they called your all in turn push). and finally, i think it is an often(not always) unspoken misunderstanding that you should try to take a big hand to the river. i personally am happy with the win on any street.
only had a fast read of the posts. I tend to agree with Compuease, its a possible action pot. Bet enough to keep the draws in and then bet enough if they dont hit to get them out b4 the river card. Yes its kinda a slowish play with trip aces but its a cash game and this is a pot you want to see to make some money on. IMO
Have you shown down AA before/recently? What did you do that time?
It was live.
Image, agressive, but tight.
Bet trips the same way a little earlier on.
But remember, asking what YOU would do.
I play aces differently, depending on the situation. If it's a loose table, I may limp then come over the top. I may raise more or less depending on what's going on. If I am short stacked I will simply pus
I'm not looking for the perfect answer, just what you guys do, or consider doing so I have stuff to think about.
The ONLY hands to play you here is a lower set, in which case it doesn't matter what you do, 2pair which is incredibly unlikely (whose calling with 72? A7 and A2 are very unlikely as you know where 3 aces are), and Flush draws. I think its worth risking a free card since the only hand to give you any action here is a fd, and someone might catch a draw or a K and think his KQ is good.
More likely someone may attack what they think is weakness on the turn, in which case you'll win an extra bet.

I knew the table, and had a feeling any pocket pairs or high suited cards have called.
