I'd def bet the flop, but prob a little more than you did. Hard to put him on a hand as no draws he can be calling with, so from the flop call im probably putting him on 22,33,44,55,77,88. A9-AK aren't in his range as he is probably shoving you pre flop.

I'd usually check the turn to control the pot and just call any river bet, and possibly value bet if he checks the river as he can't have an ace (A6-A8) if he is doing that

What if he pushes?

I don't think it makes a lot of sense to check the flop. If I raised pre-flop with any hand that doesn't include an Ace I would bet that flop. So checking because I do have an Ace is inconsistent. Also if you check the flop and your oppo fires on the turn how would you explain your subsequent call? Your oppo will then know you have an Ace or possibly a 6. Either way you're not getting any more business from hands you beat. Much better just to bet the flop. Now your oppo can come along or play back with many hands because he doesn't believe. I am happy to check the turn behind because if your oppo is floating this check will tell him you have nada and you've been collared. He will think he is smart. So this play invites bluffs on the river from lots of hands you beat. It also gets hands that beat you actually betting less on the river because they think you've given up on the hand.

I think I def bet the flop here and when he calls and checks the turn, obviously depending on how strong a player he is, I would prob put him on a heart flush draw here and doesn't want to get it in with a draw on the bubble. Of course, there is a chance he has a 6 here but I dont really think that's in his range (unless its A6). I'd prob put him on something like and would want to make him pay for any draws instead of giving him a free river. Mantis does make a good argument for checking the turn to induce a bluff on the river but the two flush draws out there make this a risky play imo.

I check with or without the A, so that is consistent.  Lets keep things manageable here, were either winning a little or losing a lot on the flop if bet/somehow get it all in...

as I thought I played this like a %&*!

I pushed on the turn having decided a flush draw was likely and he called with 

Thankfully it wasn't a bubble for the actual APT qualifier and I can have another go

That is consistent so ok. But if you always check the flop then a) you have no chance of winning the pot when you don't hit, and b) you aren't putting any money in when you flop Aces up in a 3-handed game. I don't like the concept of checking the flop to manage the pot. Better pot management is getting it a bit bigger imo. You can manage a slightly bigger pot by checking the turn.
