AA river pairs top flop card

[Ryan11]

UTG is Calling station 30/0/0.5
CO 61/12.5/1.28

I think this is a fold. What do you guys think? I don't think UTG bets a hand that doesn't have a jack here?? Should I have bet/fold this river instead of check?

if villan is stupidly tricky, i check/call, if not i bet/fold. but check/fold really sucks.

Bet/fold this river. Not too many players will just call all the way down with top pair and you will get calls from many hands that you beat. Also if the river is raised it is a fairly safe fold.

The way you played it you must call the river bet.
