Default Deep stacked 2/4 AA

I apologise if this is in the wrong forum, please tell me and I will remove it.

2/4NL, I have $1200, villain has $950.

There are 5 (YES FIVE) people posting blinds and dead money, so approx $30 in the pot before any cards dealt.

I get dealt AcAs UTG, and raise it to $30 more.

All fold to the BB, who calls me. BB is a decent player, TAG.

(Approx $90 in the pot)

Flop comes 3h3c4h

He checks, I bet $65, he insta calls. ($220 in pot)

Turn is 9s.

He checks, I bet $140 he insta calls.

River is Jc

He bets $100 in to me. Whats my play here? Call or raise, and if so to how much?

looks,feels and smells like a blocking bet. I would raise it to 300.

Smells like TT 88 or a similar small overpair that wants a cheap showdown with the J overcard.

I like raising to 300 as the other guy stated but folding to a raise. If he's tricky, I'd rather just flat call for the worry of being c/r bluffed.

for those advocating a raise, what do you expect to get called by? and by putting in all that money in a raise, getting a good price, can you fold to a push?

not asking in an authoritative way, just asking as a guy learning the game.

Maybe this is a huge mistake but I think I push and expect KK QQ to make a crying call 90% of the time.

I expect KK QQ to re-raise PF 90% of the time.

Just call his bet. If you had air, i would say raise it.

Dude, shut up, you know you would wipe the floor with Party 2/4. And this hand is really an easy call. I can't understand people who are looking to raise here with deepish stacks left, that is just not a good idea. And the more I play 2/4 the more I realise it has no business in MHNL forum.
