Simple hand I think - AA

The two villains are both horrible loose players. That's mostly from stats though as I haven't played with them long yet. Should I be calling the flop 3-bet and c/r the turn? River bet look good?

You should rarely go for a turn checkraise when the flop is a 2-flush and you have a strong hand. If the button is 3-betting with a flush draw then you risk 2 BBs when he checks behind on the turn. Also, if the button is 3-betting a 7 then you risk 2BBs if he checks behind when the turn is a 3rd flush card or overcard that scares him. So, it's imperative that you cap this flop and lead the turn.

I'm not sure I like the river bet. If he's got a smaller overpair then I think he bets the river for you. If he has a 7 then you just lose money by betting (assuming that you call). I just don't see many hands that are willing to call a bet and that won't bet themselves. Although doubtful, he might even fire a desparation bluff bet with a broken flush draw.

Well my reasoning on the river bet was a 4, mid PP, and A high would probably all call me down. These players were that bad. A 2 would have raised the turn so the only thing I fear is a 7.
