Default $55R: AA hand vs. donk that\'s been bugging me

Villain is the biggest donk at the table who was ridiculously loose PF. In previous sngs I had seen him limp into pots with hands like Q5o. I have observed him bet rivers w/ absolute air when his opponent checked behind on the turn.

PartyPoker $55 Regular Tournament, Big Blind is t40 (10 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t2000)
Hero (t2000)
MP1 (t2000)
MP2 (t2714)
MP3 (t1980)
CO+1 (t1940)
CO (t2260)
Button (t1940)
SB (t1880)
BB (t1286)

Preflop: Hero is in UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG calls t40, <font color="red">Hero raises to t180</font>, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP3 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO+1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, BB calls t140, UTG calls t140

Flop: (t560) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, <font color="red">UTG bets t150</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t600</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>, UTG calls t450

I raise the weak donk bet, as I think I'm ahead of his range (Jx, 6x, FD).

Turn: (t1760) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
<font color="red">UTG bets t175</font>, Hero calls t175

I was confused by this 2nd donk. My initial reaction to this was a hand like K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] . I think I can stack him if another [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] rolls off, and I may be drawing if he had the FD. Without the A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] I'd probably push. Does that make any sense?

If I missed the river, I was still intending to call any bet, or push if checked to.

River: (t2110) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
<font color="red">UTG bets t359</font>, Hero calls t359

Final Pot: t2688

So much money in the pot, he's not likely folding to a push on the turn, so just push it ALL-IN IMO.

K thx guys. 1760 pot with 1200 behind makes it obvious in hindsight.
