Flop Analysis
On this dry, paired board, we hold a massive range advantage. A small c-bet is ideal to keep Villain's A-high and mid-pocket pairs (88-JJ) in the pot while we have them crushed.
In a 4-bet pot with shallow stacks, prioritize extracting value from Villain's pocket pairs and A-high while the board remains safe.

Checking the turn is a viable mix, but betting small is generally preferred to set up a river shove. By checking, we protect our checking range and potentially induce a river bluff from Villain's air.
Note: Checking is acceptable but betting small (around 25% pot) is higher EV to maximize value before the board gets more complex.
With the SPR now very low and the board double-pairing, our AA is effectively the nuts against most of Villain's range. Shoving is the only way to ensure we get the remaining stacks in.
