That's pretty weak play if you have no reads. Hell, it's pretty weak even if you have a read.

There is a chance that he hit a set and is overbetting just hoping that you have QQ-AA and will commit. That would be a somewhat trickey line and one that I sometimes use against certain opponents but would be unusual on this unsoooted and uncoordinated board.

More likely an overpair overbets like that thinking they are good and trying to fold out 2 big cards like AK/AQ or some such. So 1010-KK could make that play.

If he has a set he's playing pretty bad. He should just bet out for value or slowplay you. His overbet smells so I reshove on his ass.

your play is way tooo weak The optimal line is call his flop bet and reevaluate on the turn. Most of the time, i would play my stack here regardless of the result except that the villain is a super passive nut camping player.
Keep it in mind that AA is a long term big moneymaker

I think you re-raise on the flop. There's nothing to "re-evaluate" on the turn. Calling that flop puts in 1/3 of your stack on the table.

If you are taking the uber-cautious approach you can reraise on flop and if he reshoves you can conceivably fold and move on- either he has huge stones and bluffed you or you were in bad shape.

The problem is you are in bad shape here so infrequently there's no way you find a fold on that flop.

Don't fold! Why would a set play like this?

He has no idea what kind of hand you have, unless you are some kind of uber nit and your PFR range is like 4% LOL. My guess is he went crazy on the slider, or meant to bet 14 and typed 24.... I dunno, but I'm never folding! I think I call and get it in on the turn. If we raise he we've got to go AI and obv we only get called by hands that beat us.

Against an unknown I rarely folding AA for 100bbs on this kind of flop.

It's a one pair sort of hand trying to protect his hand by making a bet that will rarely be called by a worse hand.
