Default an AA hand, passively played (55)

Passively played AA. SB is solid player, on the not too aggressive side, it seemed at the time. Such an insanely way ahead way behind situation. i thought i played this correctly, but I considered checking the turn. that seems way too passive with AA, when ill get paid off by certain pocket pairs, that its almost criminal. should i have raised the river? comments appreciated very much.

I think it's fine. There is a decent chance you are beaten on the river but you have to call. I would never raise this river for two reasons: 1) there is an obvious hand that beats you, three Jacks. 2) he has about the same stack size as you have and if you raise the river and he pushes you have two bad options in front of you.

Just call. If you lose you have a good sized stack. If you win you have a great sized stack.

Yeah, I posted this with a conscious intent to avoid results oriented thinking, hoping people would assume he had some kind of pocket pair. He ended up having JTo. But did i lose the minimum/make the maximum off of a worse hand? i think the turn makes the difference. I was hoping it would make a KQ top pair, but your usual solid player would raise that preflop, even into a mutual big stack.
