AA early, do you make the crying call?

I agree that TT is about the only hand that should be raising this river, but since you don't know...

Does TT really make sense here though? After the flop, villain had third pair on a rainbow board and going to be needing some major help for a straight.

FWIW, if villain puts us on AA-QQ/AK after the flop cap, he's not too wrong by peeling one off getting 12:1 if he thinks we would check with AK on the turn. Then the turn call with about 6 outs doesn't look so bad getting almost 8:1.

I think slowplaying a set makes more sense.

It's also a stupid way of playing a flopped set... much worse than if he had TT.
