Default 20/40, should I lay AA down on this board?

20/40 full ring at casinorama, 20/40 is the highest limit that casinorama has.

Button is LAG at times (raised UTG with A9o in another hand)
BB is a complete fish. He plays every single hand, almost always shows down.

Hero is UTG+2 with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Preflop: 2 folds,<font color="red">Hero Raises</font>, folded to the button,<font color="red">Button 3 bets</font>, BB calls, <font color="red">Hero caps</font>

Flop: K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
BB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets</font>, Button calls, BB calls

Turn: J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="red">BB bets </font>, <font color="red">Hero raises </font>, <font color="red">Button 3 bets</font> <font color="red">BB caps</font> Hero calls, Button calls

River: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="red">BB bets </font>, Hero calls, <font color="red">Button raises </font> BB calls, Hero calls

This was a difficult hand. I was strongly considering folding the turn. I knew I was behind to one of them. My thinking was that the BB might have two pair and the LAG might have AK with a flush draw or something. But the pot was very big and I thought that if the board paired I might take it.....Is this an obvious fold?

If BB is the super loose super passive type of fish, I dont see him capping this turn without a set or KJ at the very minimum, maybe KsJs.

Buttons smoothcall on the flop combined with turn 3 bet seems to be screaming KK. I think you can fold the turn when its 2 cold back to you. Only getting about 6-1 you would need your board pairing outs to be good a pretty high percentage of the time and I just don't see that being the case.

These hands are tough. Often times the BB's turn bet signals a flush draw and they cap it for fun when it gets back to them. Button probably has KK or JJ, but could have AK or some random hand. I would have called the turn to see if the river was an A, 3, 7

.... the problem that I envision is that I might still call the river even if I don't improve. The place to fold is when it is 2 to you on the turn. If I can't see BB capping with a flush draw then I would fold.

easy call on the river--your chances are terrible, but not impossible.

You can beat any two pair hand. You will likely be shown a trey on this hand (or a set), but I think you played it well.

I don't think it's the river call he's questioning.

you can't lay it down on this board. the only question is whether to call or cap the 3bet on the turn. Depending on how well the button plays post-flop I would probably call the 3bet on the turn and check-call the river.
