Pretty dangerous board for AA, but with that said I still think you are probably ahead. You can either put in a third raise and shut down if called/raised or you can call the flop bet and check-raise the turn if no bad cards hit. I think in a three handed game I go broke in this spot a lot because they know that their top pair is likely the best hand shorthanded. So with that said I'm willing to go to the felt with AA on this hand even given the board.

i don't like to lead OOP weakly like that w/ AA on that board. too much going on. he can reraise you with any two and you still don't know anything about his holdings. if you are willing to call his raise on the flop, you should just lead out for pot on flop. i dunno, when i have AA or KK there i don't really want to play a huge pot on this board, it's like the poster child for potential disaster against your overpair. i probably make a 3/4 to full pot sized lead out and take it from there. you can get a lot of worse hands to bet into you there on turn and river (1010,JJ, AK) if they think your flop bet was just a Cbet after you slowdown on the turn and chek to them (like if they put you on two missed overs). play for a smaller pot w/ this flop and wait until your AA runs into a better board next time.

In answer to your question... it depends...

One thing to factor in to the equation is that this is a blind versus blind confrontation, and usually this is the big blind overplaying his hand since you raised his blind. I think calling his flop bet, and check-raising all in on the turn is a very +EV play given the situation.
