PokerStars - $0.05 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (BTN): 104 BB
SB: 131.2 BB
BB: 100 BB (VPIP: 100.00, PFR: 100.00, 3Bet Preflop: -, Hands: 1)
UTG: 127.6 BB
MP: 104.6 BB
CO: 109.8 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has A♠ A♦

fold, fold, CO raises to 3 BB, Hero raises to 10.4 BB, SB raises to 31 BB, fold, fold

Is there any value to calling in position, leaving the opponent's range wider or is it just better to play it straight?

Spoiler

Hero raises to 104 BB and is all-in, fold
Hero wins 66 BB

Villain is showing strength by cold 4b. Here you should push. No need to slowplay.

I expect the SB will 4 bet tight against so much action and he will stack off most of the time and in this case, you are unlucky he still folds here.

Villain will have more value hands than bluffs.

Thanks for the confirmation.

This is definitely a spot where I suffer from negative confirmation bias facing what seems like frequent folds :)

I agree with pushing, but there is nothing wrong with calling once in a while against opponents you play with day in and day out. Helps to keep them in line in case they begin to read you well.
