I'd call and play for set value. Assuming we miss the flop, I'd probably put in a nice healthy c-bet, depending on the flop texture. You can't lay this down with your stack, but you're up against a higher pair a lot here and shouldn't spend more than 20/25% of your stack confirming it.

I pulled this exact move in the FTP 24K earlier this week with AA (that's not to say that this is what Villain has).

But what his raise accomplishes is folding out the BTN and blinds, isolating against you and MP1, and gets more money in the pot.

It's a strong move, as Villain clearly doesn't seem to be try to fold you or MP1 out, but without reads it's a little tough to pick a line here.

If CO has been playing tight, not getting out of line, then I call and mine for a set. If CO is a monkey, then I may ship it in.
