I agree with them. We're only worried about 78 on the flop and after a 1/3 sized bet and a call I'm no longer worried about that. Wraps/pair + SD have us beat equity wise too but we still have roughly 40% vs most stuff.
There's so much potential dead money already in the pot that raising to try and TID is valuable. Bad SD's have to worry that we (or the other play in the pot) could have them crushed by a better wrap.
In response to Pirate above; we aren't just stacking off every time with AA. We have 2 back door flush draws and the nut TP on a dry board where we are only worried about 78. Also only one of the players is deep with us and we're planning on forcing his equity out of the pot by representing a stronger hand than we have.
That being said, calling flop isn't a big mistake or anything and can be OK sometimes. However, I really dislike the turn call. He bets 1/3 pot again and the other player just calls on this board - neither player is representing strength here and we now have a flush draw to go along with the nut one pair hand and not shipping the turn here is criminal. (I'm probably donk shipping too rather than hoping the UTG makes a weird small bet again)
