Default Raise to 5X BB w/ AA and get 3 callers......your post flop play????

Pacific Poker NL 400 (6 max)

Only read on villain: He is a super donk who has no business playing NL 400

CO ($461.91)
Villain ($224.30)
UTG ($332.33)
BB ($623.50)
SB ($169.60)
Hero ($692.03)

Hero is on the button w/ A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Preflop:

UTG calls $4, Villain calls $4, CO folds, Hero raise to $20, SB folds, BB calls $20, UTG calls $20, Villain calls $20.

Flop$82) Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

BB checks, CO checks, Villains bets $25, Hero calls $25, BB folds, CO folds

Turn: ($132) 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Villain bets $25, Hero calls $25

River: ($182) 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Villain checks, Hero checks

Results:

Villains shows Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Hero has black aces and wins pot.

OK, I'm not sure I like my line here, but when I get 3 callers to my $20 raise I go into caution mode.

My reasoning:

Villain could have any hand here, so I can't rule out 9s, 7s or even 97s. QQ is unlikely, but you never know with a donk like this.

I thought if he had a weak holding then he would fold to a big raise (I actually think a minraise might be in line here, even though I never do it). If he has me beat, then I'm building a big pot that I'm going to lose. So I decide to call.

How do you play this to extract maximum value?

What is your play on the river?

I think I played this was to weak, but when I get 3 callers I usually shut down.

All thoughts appreciated.
