Played this hand yesterday at Parx. Villain is a late 20s, seemingly thinking player who has been pretty agro. Utg+1 opens to 20, villain calls and I make it 75 from the CO with AA. They both call and we see a flop of J74rainbow. Checks to me and I bet 85. Utg+1 folds and villain calls. I think his range in this spot is Jx, sets, 88-10s and maybe 56s. The turn is a 6 and he checks to me again. I decide that if his range is almost always sets and 1 pair hands its probably not a bad idea to check back turn being that Im only going to get 2 streets out of the one pair hands and at the same time I can pot control against sets. The river is another 6 and he checks to me a third time. I go ahead and bet 250 and he check jams for another 500.
Thoughts on the river decision?
Thoughts on checking back the turn?

Turn check is fine, seems like a pretty easy fold now. Why is your flop bet so small? 85 into 225? I'd also squeeze a bit bigger preflop if you're 200BBs deep. Not a lot, but like 80 – 90.

Yea i could definitely bet more on the flop. I thought the river was a fairly easy fold as well lol. Had a 5-10 player tell me he wasnt a fan of the turn check back but I really thought it was the best line to take.

Yeah especially against a guy who called twice pre-flop. I'd more inclined to bet against the original raiser, though even there I don't hate a check. The big disadvantage of checking is opening yourself up to a bluff in this spot, but I wouldn't think even a good 2/5 player would do that, really.

I definately would have folded the river too. Not calling there.
As for the turn I learned something there. I would have made a bet on the turn something like 150 -175, but now I see that checking is the better option. Thanks for the post
