Bet: The pot is large enough that if you lead out, it is tough for him to call without an ace, since your bet will probably be in the $70 range.
Assuming he calls only with hands that beat you, but he bluffs 20% of the time with hands that you beat if you check... the best scenario is to bet and find out if you're ahead. It is very hard for him to shove his stack with a hand like QQ here.
Another interesting play is to make a feeler bet - bet $40 or so into the pot. This isn't done very often anymore from what i've seen.
The problem with this is the fact that $40 is an obvious feeler bet to the point where villain can bluff raise with any two cards. $90 is way too big, but $60 is half pot bet, not so strong but not so weak and doesnt telegraph our hand.
If you would like to bet $40 more than bet 60, I advise checking the flop then. The $40 line wreaks of jj-kk scared of the ace on the flop
