AA check, and call

[Schneids]

Happened many days ago, Commerce $400/800.

I'm UTG and running super [censored] vs many opponents who are probably aware of that. I've often meakly called down with whatever, and lost to their slightly better hands, and have been playing very passively postflop, as often happens when running not well...

Anyway, UTG in a full game, I raise red AA.

Devon (SavageGamble) cold calls in MP. IMO Devon is one of the better LHE players around, fwiw. He doesn't cold call too many hands, so, I am guessing he is making a call with a hand he'd normally fold, but is playing because he wants to play pots vs me while I'm running poorly.

Flop JJ3. I bet, Devon calls.

Turn 5. I check, Devon bets, I call.

This is how it's been going a lot of times, so, I figure I may as well keep with the flow of the game and once again check and call this turn because that's what I've been doing all night long.

River 2. Board JJ352. I check, Devon again bets. I fumble around with my chips, consider a checkraise, then consider his hand range and what those hands will do vs a river checkraise, and call.


BK and I discussed this one and I've thought about it a lot and think in the given situation, my line is optimal to win the max and lose the least (with the basic assumption that no matter what, this hand is being shown down, so if say I were to checkraise the turn or river, that I'd call a 3bet and payoff).


Thoughts?
