This isnt even close, calling here preflop was a bad decision and you might have won/lost but its badly results orientated for me.
LOL, I'm not being results oriented. I already conceded that I should have 3-bet against this donkey! I'm not even going to post whether I won the flip because it doesn't even matter. The point that I and many others have made in this thread is that he doesn't have to have a hand like Q J very often for this to be a call since I'm getting 3.5:1. Even if he has TT I win the hand 12% of the time with my two outs + a backdoor flushdraw. I think I'm definitely going to get shown TT a lot here for sure but the way the hand played out it just felt like he had a big draw and wanted fold equity.

"3 handed, preflop not 3betting AA is a bad decision imo no matter who the opponents"

I think you couldn't be any more wrong. Deception and metagame are two very good reasons to just call sometimes. When I call here with AA I have a hand that no one will put me on because like you say it doesn't get done often. I might get JJ or TT to stack off a lot more easily on a low flop where they'd be able to fold if I 3-bet. Also if you always 3-bet in a 3-way pot then when you just call, your opponents know you don't have a big pair. I think it's really bad to just give away that info. You think metagame doesn't matter but it does. People are smarter than you think especially at 1/2 and higher, if they see you just call with AA or KK in this spot they will remember that in future pots and it just makes you a tougher opponent to play against.
