I am more a live player than online and this spot is driving me nuts. I don't know any player at the table. Blinds 1800/900-225.

I went from 2bb to 60bb then 39bb (this hand) in like 5-10 minutes and we are around 150 left, itm is 585. My image is tight but aggressive. Had played AA-AQ-JJ in last 20 hands but before got a more than 50-60 hand streak without good spots and two or three r/f. At this table I am near 15/12/6.

UTG2 is a ok player but c-bets 100% of the time (4/4) and matches his sizing on the strength of the hand. LJ is a problem in terms of logical sense to play this hand, since all reasonable squeezing sizes are rugged given that he does not have other option that shove, and by doing it he restricts my 5b shove possibility, that is why I decided to flat AA, and also, SB-BB were short enough to re-jam and I would induce UTG to shove obviously a weaker hand.

I can see an argument to raise this flop without the Ah, but one of the intentions of the call was just to create a perfect squeezing spot to any draw for UTG2 in a spot that my range looks weak, since I can call 55-88 pre to call a re-jam by the blinds given the price. 

What made my decision to re-jam flop or fold very tough was his sizing. Any comments would be great.
