1/3 nlhe $300 Max

Only been on the table for two orbits, very limp friendly.

Main Villain(V1): Older Gentleman in mid 50's, high VPIP so far limping every hand ive seen him play. Seems weak, loose-passive? Stack covers Hero ~$400
Hero: Played exactly 2 hands so far and that's this hand and the BB. Mid 20's Asian guy. Stack of ~$300

OTTH:
V1 open limps UTG, Hero UTG1 iso to $20 with the lovely AA. V2 in BB calls and V1 calls.
Pot($61): Flop A K 7 Check. Check. Hero cbets $30. V2 folds, V1 calls. Smaller sizing with half pot, im aware but ive smashed this board and strongly block continuing hands like top pair. Trying to keep Kx hands in and ranges wide.
Pot($121). Turn 6 V1 checks, Hero bets $60. Same logic as flop bet. V1 Tank calls.
Pot($241). River 3 V checks and Hero bets $100. V snap jams all in. Hero?

Only $90 to call, getting okay odds. But given Villain type and the quick check raise jam we're up against a straight at a minimum. Probably a hand like 45 or KX AX very likely.

You played it fine. I'd bet slightly bigger on the turn due to stack sizes and trying to get him more committed since he's shown interest in the pot already.
I'm never folding in this spot for this amount of bbs. You might have been beat in this instance, but I've seen people value with worse in these spots at these stakes or even have some really bad bluffs.

You might be no good because of his tanking then snap jam otr but you can never fold this.

Grunch from title alone: Can you? Yes. Should you? No. Not unless you have lockdown reads of extreme nittiness. OK, off to read post.

After reading OP: Never, ever, folding here. V has us beat often, but nowhere near 85.5% of the time, which is how often he'd need to be good for us to be folding here. He'll have a lower set or stupid 2pair at least 15% of the time.

I would've checked back the river. Not sure about the 100 river bet when both straights and flushes get there, especially knowing he's a high VPIPer who could've gotten there.

As is I'd snap call a 90$ bet here (price is too cheap to fold)

Do not fold. Do not check river. Jesus.

Can't fold from just the info in op
Maybe if villain would never slowplay a set and struggle on how to play ax diamond combos without 2 pair & and plays super nitty on river we can think about it

But its got to be a call without very strong reads on villain

As played, call.

Should have bet more on the flop for value and to deny heart draws. More on turn, too. River would have been even easier to play.

I think as played you can definitely fold here

If there is any chance V will do this with two pair or a set, you cannot fold. Personally, I'm never bet/folding here for an extra $90. Might as well check the river.

Any 2 pair or sets would raise at an earlier point. Not the river with seemingly 0 fold equity and when flush and a straight is on board.
