Default Re: AA, scary board

Against an unknown cap preflop. Your hand is best here and you want to put as much money in the pot as possible while it still is the best.

Flop is ok, my plan is a call down on this board since your opponent might have a set, but might also have Ax. I don't think a turn check/raise is called for if a blank falls because you often won't have the best hand and you want to showdown cheaply.

The turn fold is pretty obvious, but careful about calling it two outs. Consider likely holdings for your opponent: QQ, JJ, AK, AQ, AJ, AT, KQ, KK, AA. Against most of these holdings you are drawing dead or chopping at best, so saying you have even two outs is pushing it.
