Thanks for the discussion so far. I should have explicitly said Abe was a complete unknown to me. Don't recall seeing him in any game before so what I had was what I gave. I'll consider the feedback when posting hands in the future.
In any event, I reasoned that the flop hit many rundowns and stacks were awkwardly sized for gii immediately so that checking might be a better option. Overpairs are in there but I don't think Abe will give me much action with naked KK. I don't have great instincts in this spot because I haven't cranked through enough of the math of each action so here we are. All thoughts welcome.
One limp to my button and I raise to 20 with A

Abe checks in tempo and I? Improvement is good so probably betting but how much? Thanks.
