Default AA vs. unknown, coordinated board

I don't like what I did, here, what would you do?

PokerStars 0.50/1.00 Hold'em (6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls.

Flop: (5 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, Hero ?

3-bet. No call-c/r'ing the turn on drawy boards.

With no reads I 3-bet this, collecting while it's still likely you are ahead, and is the relatively cheapest way to find out if you're not. If called, I lead the turn and reevaluate based on the card and villain's action. If he caps the flop I probably start check/calling, unless the turn is a relatively good card, like a 6 or an A.

What are the alternatives? Check-raising a blank turn? And then if you get 3-bet...that sucks against an unknown. And you can of course not slow down immediately by just calling and then check/calling.

Calling and donking the turn is the only serious alternative, but I prefer 3-betting here.

I'd 3 bet it. I guess you can call and bet the turn, but what if the turn card is bad? I 3bet the flop and get the bets in when I have the best hand.

I agree with GMMigge on going into check/call mode if he caps and the turn doesn't help us.

Read helps a lot. Even stats.

3betting is standard.

But calling the raise and betting the turn works against the right sort of player.

Just don't go for a turn c/r.
