AA, crying river call?

[LOwrestling2001]

Villain is 25/14/3 over 255 hands. I usually 3b preflop, but chose not to this time. I think I shouldve been more careful about my flop C/R sizing, as it wouldve been easier to get more money in on the turn. But given that we got to the river like this, do we make a crying call here?

If we call, it's because we think he can play AK like this a decent amt. of the time, right?

You're definitely right, you didn't think your bet sizing out very carefully because you're pretty priced in on the river. As a general rule I always 3bet QQ+ OOP because they play so poorly postflop when you're trying to get all the money into a smallish pot. If you're going to cold call a preflop raise with a large pocket pair do it IP on the origonal raiser, preferably with a habitual 3better behind you.
