Default Controlling Pot Size after bubble

I wonder how to effectively control the pot sizes... take this hand for example:

Blind was 15/30. Three players left.

SB: 200
BB: 300
Button (me): 300
(top three gets paid)

Dealt to me: As, 8d

Me: Raise to $70
SB: folds
BB: Calls

Flop: Ac, 7d, 9h (pot = $155)

BB checks
I checked <---

Normally I would fire a shot of half the pot here, but I think BB has completedly missed it and I wish him to bluff at me on the Turn, so I can reraise him all in.

Turn: Jc (pot = $155)

BB check <---
I bet $60
BB goes All-In for $230

What would you do? Thanks.

I'd probably put him on an ace. Although it's possible that he just hit the jack and your check on the flop fooled him into thinking you don't have an ace.

You are beating A2 thru A6 (5 hands), and you are losing to A7 and A9 thru AK (6 hands). If he had a big ace then he probably would have come over the top pre-flop rather than play it out of position. So I wouldn't be too pessimistic at this point.

Pot odds are almost 2 to 1 to make the call. And the prizes generally favour 1st place, so I'd be inclined to roll the dice and make the call. If he has a bigger ace then you still have some outs to hit 2 pair or a gutshot.

Some additional information:

- When I raised PF he thought about it for quite a long time.
- He thought another 10 seconds to check the flop.
- I thought a long time and checked the flop (trying to act as if I missed it).
- He quickly checked the turn.
- I quickly bet the Turn. He quickly reraised all in.

From my experience if someone quickly reraise, they usually have it. I was putting him on T8, A7, A9, AJ or other strong hands so he doesn't have to even think but to check the turn.
I folded.
When I told him my card he said he got full house. What a joke.
