Default AA - How do u play yours? H.E.L.P

Ok so player seems to be running at 45/9 small sample though seems to be a bit of a calling station. What line are u taking here?? He doesn't seem like the type to bluff so I decided not to go for a C/R on the turn as didn't wanna give a cheap draw.

Poker Stars, $0.50/$1.00 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 4 Players
LeggoPoker Hand History Converter

BTN: $90.60
Hero (SB): $139.90
BB: $101.50
UTG: $27.20

Pre-Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (SB)
UTG calls $1.00, BTN calls $1.00, <font color="red">Hero raises to $6</font>, BB calls $5.00, 2 folds

Flop: ($14) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $12</font>, BB calls $12

Turn: ($38) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $32</font>, BB calls $32

River: ($102) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)

Are u shuvving the river?? C/C give spades a chance to bluff? my concern is I think he has a hand like 66-KK here and he might just check it behind and i'm not folding to a shuv. Thoughts please [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

He could have a J you know.
But if you're not folding to a shove then bet $65. You didn't put his AF in your OP which may give an indication if he'd bluff a missed draw . . .

I typed up a whole thing saying I would c/c because that j lets a lot of hands bluff at the river, but that makes more sense against a thinking player. Against a station like this guy I bet/fold (you said you'd call so bet/call, but if he has a low AF I fold) and expect to get called by a decent amount of hands we beat. I think he checks behind with a lot of hands that we beat that would either fold or call our bet so that's no different.

Good so far, kind of a gross spot as a J is a whole lot of his range, but I would probably bet/fold this smallish to get max value out of 55-TT. He will raise (probably minraise) with a Jack, but he's not bluffraising busted spades very often given how passive he is and given the very real possibility that you have a jack here.

If he hasn't shown much aggression over the small sample I probably just vbet since we don't even know if he'll bluff spades.

I would never c/c in this spot, especially against this villain. He only has like $50 behind; just shove I guess. But I'd seriously c/f before I c/c'd here (unless he made some $10 downie bet or something).

Ah, didn't realize effective stack sizes, spot on claunchy. I'm probably just shoving. I mean, if villain has 55-TT, the jack shouldn't really scare him any more than a 2 should.
