Default Re: AAA Flop

Im in the BB with A4s, Good Aggressive HJ open raises all fold to me, I call. Flop comes AAA, i donk.
My thinking- He can't have an A, but he raised from the HJ so there is a good chance his non ace cards are big face cards he won't want to fold or a PP that i might get some real action out of. If i c/r it will shut him out of the raising action with most of his hands. Donking gaurentees a bet on every street when he has a hand he wants to get to show down.
If i get raised my plan will often be to raise and donk again (depending on the card). I can represent that i paired the next card on the turn and don't want to give a free card. This opens him up to raise me again with his bigger pocket pairs and takes away his free card/showdown attempts on the flop and turn.
Who likes my play in this situaiton?
