600NL - AA 200bb deep

I'm posting from the perspective of the villain in the hand (he's 46/17/1, and I'm running about 20/15 for the session because I've been lazy and nitting it up). I also have a question about my play afterwards. We've played a decent amount together, and about 30 minutes earlier my opponent showed a bluff against me that he seemed especially proud of.

Effective stacks are $1325.

Hero opens UTG for $21, villain raises to $81 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], hero calls.

Flop is Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (pot is $171)

Hero checks, villain bets $96, hero raises to $346, now what (with $900 left)?

It probably depends on what your opponent does and what a turn card is.

uh...looks like your digging yourself into a hole by that flop raise.

Fold (If I'm villain...I thought the whole hero/villain thing was to avoid confusion??). QQ or JJ is too likely, and you're not getting called by worse (KK).

I guess this was more confusing than anything.

Anyway, I got lucky, villain pushed and I called with 22.

I figured this should be an easy fold for him with AA in retrospect, which had me wondering about my line. If he gets away from AA/KK here, I'm picking up a tiny pot when ahead, and getting stacked when he has QQ/JJ.

Even against a villain who cbets almost 100% of the time, is my check-raise here too scary? Is bet/3bet better just so he can't get away from KK/AA as easily?

In my experience, villains who run around 46/17/1 don't fold AA on the flop very often, if ever.
