pre flop: standard 3bet with AA

flop: c-bet expecting to be called by any J and any pocket pair and possible flush draws.

Turn: This is where I'm torn between betting again and hoping for a call from PP of witch some may not even call given 3bet pre, or checking to see if they want to bet pairs for value or try and bluff me off AK/AQ. I opted to check.

River: Same thinking as the turn but looking back I now think most PP will just x back.

Really unsure what would be the best way to get max value in this situation. Any and all advice welcome. Thanks in advance

( sorry about hand being in this format. pokerstrategy sidekick not recording my hands from 888 )

You should bet/bet/bet here. Nothing to be torn about. Just bet and try to get as much money in as you can.

I agree with the bet/bet/bet line, we turn the nuts except for 2x (unlikey given action pre) and JJ. It's better to go for value with any hands villain wants to continue with like a worse PP.

Bet/bet/bet. If he has JJ, there is nothing you can do.

Why do you not bet river? All pocket pairs create a lower full house, only JJ and 2xxx have you beat which are both (especially 2x) rather unlikely. That check on the river is not good im afraid, you HAVE a valuebet and if you DO get raised, that is then a different question. Ask if you are ahead (/have a profitable call) vs his raising range. Maybe vs this specific hand you wouldnt have gotten a call anymore, but vs his turn calling range (that does hold hands that would call) you are missing out on a tonne of value by not betting river. GL and all the best.
