Legends Of Poker Day AA against UTG raiser

Rest of the stacks and table dynamics are pretty important, particularly the blinds. If the blinds are 15-30 BBs and look like they might be aggro then I like a call. If they are deep or very short then probably shove. I think UTG is about as likely to call any kind of a raise as he is a shove, so shoving is good as it can be a bit deceptive as far as your projected hand strength to both UTG and the rest of the table.

Everyone behind me was short stack (under 6k) except SB 15K, BB 22K, and both SB,BB are very aggressive players.

Well if this isn't a picture perfect time for a smooth-call PF, then I don't know when is.

I think this is a "bad beat" story... because as soon as he raised 4bb utg with both of our stack sizes along with short stacks are yet to act, I realized he has a hand and "I'm doubling up here..."

Normally, I shove at this spot against live players representing AK and get actions from pp 95% of the time (even AQ,AJ sometimes). But I figured Day 2 players are generally better than day 1's, I chose to smooth call because:
a. hoping blinds shove given my loose image or at least call for pot odds.
b. if I HU with utg, he'd c-bet most flops and I shove. (like most posters say).
c. raising to 5K will expose that "please call me", rasing more here is same as push to most players.

As played:
I called and HU with utg.

flop J72r.

he bet 500 into a 7000 pot until I pointed out he had to bet a BB (600), he put in another $100 chip. I realized he's one of "lucky left-overs" from day 1 and probably has air or 66 afraid of two over cards. I called. He checked the turn Queen, I bet 1700 wtf!(yes ridiculous, but I tried to get as much as I could), he folded in 0.1 sec.

Later, I saw the same guy opened the pot on the button 3XBB and folded to a SB's 6BB shove.

Adjust plays against different players are just too hard.
