Default I play every street wrong ?

Bellagio 15/30 10 handed

I get into a very bizarre run of cards where I'm raising a ton, and showing down strong hands (although not always winners). I think I got KK back to back hands before this.

I get JJ utg, and raise. Fishy guy in MP goes to 3town. A note here that I really didn't know how fishy he was. My friend later told me that he raised A5o in EP at one point, but I never saw that.

Once he 3 bet I did something really weird. I didn't go 4. Under almost any other circumstance I go 4 there with a smile. But I'd been running so hot, I thought maybe just calling here might be a "ya you got me" type move, and I could be a little deceptive with the right flop texture. In hindsight I'm really mad I didn't go 4. We're head's up.

Flop

A A rag (with no flush draw)

I check-call with the intention of representing the A on the turn

turn:

A A rag rag, still no draws.

I check, and he bets pretty calmly. The plan was to raise right ? I go against the plan, butcher this street, and call. but I plan to call any river that isn't a scary card.

river:

A A rag rag T

That was one of the cards I didn't want. In the range of hands I beat where I felt this guy could 3bet me preflop, I was counting on beating KQs and TT.

I check and I'd like to think I did it in a manner that said "go ahead, I'm calling", without overdoing it (like putting call chips in my hand).

He pretty calmly reaches down and tosses in his last bet

I fold.

My friend later said that was a pretty bad fold, and said if I'd called the turn, it was with the intention of calling the river given the pot size.

There are obvious arguements for changing every street. But my question is do you call the river expecting to see a small pocket pair or KQs ? the pot has some 7BB in it, and I give myself maybe a 1 in 10 chance to win this. So I thought the fold wasn't as bad as he made it sound.
