AA vs. a limp reraiser

Early hand at a table. No reads on any of the villains at the time.

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls, 1 fold, Hero raises, 4 folds, SB calls, BB calls, UTG 3-bets, Hero caps, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (16 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets, SB calls, BB calls, UTG raises, Hero 3-bets, SB calls, BB calls, UTG caps, Hero calls, SB calls, BB calls.

At this point, I'm putting UTG on QQ, KK, AA, AK of spades, or a random hand he's pretending is AA because he's crazy. I suppose 99, 33, a strong Q, or random spades are also possible, but those seem much less likely as limp reraise bait. I plan to raise a brick on the turn if he bets out.

Turn: (16 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players)

Not. A. Brick.

SB checks, BB checks, UTG bets, Hero folds...

At this point, I'm a dog to all of his likely hands. It is a big pot, so I was tempted to call down in case he was just crazy, but I was worried about the two people behind me, and that the most obvious draws just came in. Thoughts?

i dont think i can put villain on spade draw on flop cuz he capped. im thinkin either QQ,KK, or another AA. but either way, you're gettin 17:1 on the turn. I'd call down i think

I'd probably call this bet. However, if either of the blinds come alive and/or (especially) if UTG keeps playing back at them, I would have no problem releasing my hand at this spot.

I don't feel like doing any math, but my intuition says folding here is probably about neutral with calling.

Call down but fold if anyone raises the field at any point.

I would have to call to you might get lucky and hit an ace or he could just have ak fearing everyone would fold if he raised it is a big pot and you are 23-1 dog but in any case you should call.In small stakes game making big laydowns is not the key to success. Whats worse a bad fold or a bad call?

I think I would have to cautiously call down in this large pot. You can just muck if the other two decided if they want to kick up some action.

Making bad calldowns becomes quite expensive. In this hands theres been a lot of evidence that were behind. We also have only one clean out to trip aces which may not even be good.
