You're trying to squeeze out AA?

Yeah I don't know which better hand you are trying to get to fold, AA maybe, but will he really fold it?

Yes, and the other QQ. Donk has a wide range here.

Giving up two outs isn't so bad. I think it's ok.

I guess I like it.

If you're ahead of the UTG player, he'll fold but that's no big deal, and you can probably even value-bet the river against the fish.

If UTG folds a better hand, that's huge for you.

If UTG cold calls (almost certainly AA), then you can check the river through in position, and it doesn't cost you any more than seeing a showdown would have anyway.

I think these upsides are worth the downside of the fish possibly 3-betting you.

As to whether I'd fold AA there in UTG's shoes, I probably would but it would depend in part on just how bad the fish was. I also might have led the turn, though, as I think this tends to keep the action more honest.

I'm having a hard time believing that AA will fold here.

I'm having a hard time believing UTG has AA or QQ very often here. He should be betting the turn. That being said, I think he's folding a worse hand almost always. I guess the question is: Is he folding for one bet anyways? And, if so, do you have enough of an edge to make the turn c/r for value against the fish? I don't think so. I also don't love a turn call, river lead, which is the best alternative, imo.

I would call the turn. There's a good chance AA won't fold, CO could have a K or possibly 66/88 (remember he's so loose he's probably coldcalling pre with K7o and K3s), plus you'll get at least one more BB and probably 2 out of utg's TT/JJ if you are ahead as well as another bluff out of the fish possibly if has air.
