AA, a calldown or fold on the turn?

No reads, the opponent has only 15 hands. The turn card is ugly, should I still invest 2 big bets and call down?

yeah, small pot, you can probably dump it on the turn

Did you consider checking the turn?

I think that if you bet, and get raised, then against a straightforward player the best play is to fold. Checking the turn and then calling a bet on the river is still probably the best play, as sweetjazz pointed out.

I had AA 3 times and KK 2 times and won only one pot with those and none of them was more than 3 handed.

Checking is a viable option IMO.

Against a passive fish I think its b/f > b/c > c/c
Against a LAG and an unknown I like c/c > b/c > b/f.

Getting about 3-1 on the calldown I fold the turn.

against someone I trust, I bet/fold the turn

considering I can only trust about 1% of the players on AP, I just check the turn representing AK, and get "valuebet" by any dick 1 pair hand and call the river and win, next hand.

As played, I'd fold the turn.
