Wonderin if there is a better way to play this hand, maybe repop pre flop, or what am i just gonna double him anyways? my table image was very aggressive and figured id just smooth call preflop.....now i regret it?

Standard is to rr pf. Calling is fine too but with an an aggro image I'm more likely to raise (and stack off if necessary).

As played, I wouldn't raise the flop because I think it makes it far too easy to fold all the hands that are behind here. Given that A is on the board and K is in our hand, I'm not worried about draws. I just want to get the max out of weaker aces and smaller big pairs.

If you have an aggressive image you need to repop this every time pf...
