I decided to be tricky here and flat with AA. I think there's value in flatting AA sometimes when deep (as I am with BTN) since people will exclude it from your hand range and you can cause them to make a huge mistake.
That said this is by no means a standard play for me. I was 3+ hours into my grind session and have been playing with these regs back and forth for a while so I decided to mix it up a little.

I don't have a C/R range on this board so I just flat.

Excellent turn card for us since it makes 55 less likely and we just counterfeited T9 if he had it. Plus it gives overpairs a lot of confidence against us for the exact same reasons. I don't think villain has many 5x in his UTG range either.
I decide to donk bet so that villain can call (or raise) me with worse. He does elect to raise. I think he's mostly doing this for value with QQ/KK or sometimes as a bluff with QJ/87s (though I would think he would make his bet size larger so that he could call a jam).
It's also possible he's making a small raise with 99/TT or A5s, but I think he would also just flat those hands often given how strong they are and how unlikely giving a free card would help my hand.
So I figured that his most likely range is QQ/KK here and I go for the bet-jam line. Also, I have no idea how I would balance this... it just felt like the right thing to do in the moment given how I played pf...
