Comment:
Pre-flop: BB raises, don't have any stats on him. He raises very big, so I put him on the range AJs+, AKo, TT+

On the flop: He immediately goes all in, I think he can have 3 things, an overpair (QQ+), AJ or 2 spades, people don't bluff with these sizes on NL2. But still I find his raise very big. I decide to call because I already beat AJ, two spades are behind and I have lots of outs against KK/AA.

Was this call OK?

Spoiler

In the end he shows AA. So I take a note about him betting big with good starting hands, what is the best way to exploit players like that?

Even from his big 3b preflop - 7.5x, You can tell he has AA...

It’s a weird big 3bet. I would always fold or push in spots like this pre-flop and without reads or stats it’s difficult to give him credit for a better hand I think and I would go for it.

Villain 3bets big pre. If you think he doesn't bluff 3bet with this sizing, do you still think he does this with his whole value 3betting range? (AJ,TT etcetc..). Or could he do this just with KK+,AK? :)

I might push this pre flop.

I don't see it as a blind war, because people fold the big blind way to easily at NL2 (even to minraises).

Because I don't know him I thought that calling was the best option. His sizing makes me think that he does not know too much about strategy, so you do wanna see flops with those kind of players. They don't fold, and they don't bluff after the flop.
