3/6. Lyric opens 18 UTG, I make it 62 UTG+1 with red aces, JeffBoston, a known nit, smoothcalls in the BB. Flop comes JcTc2c, and he insta CR jams. I imagine he's dumb enough to have JJ here. What else is in his range? Is AcKo? KcK or QcQ? Red kings? TT?

Call black aces, I assume. Fold red ones? What about black kings or black queens?

check back flop. all he's c/fing with are red (nonclub) hands that you don't care about giving an extra card. rest is c/ring. i think you have to call now, he could have QQ or something.

I'd start thinking about checking back with KK and no FD

I call with black aces, fold without the Ac. I fold KK/QQ for sure though because he has a lot of equity with hands like AcJx, AcQx etc vs KK/QQ.

I think his range is largely JT/TT/JJ/KQ/NFD and combo draws here.

edit: But, I'd check back this flop a lot unless I'm willing to call it off.

I always seem to make the wrong decision with checking back. Like, I checked back black AK 150deep on a AdQd3d flop last night in a 4-bet pot, and obviously the turn was a diamond and obviously he had red tens (no money went in post-flop). Here I bet, time banked to 5 secs, prayed for a coinflip versus black QQ/KK, and donated a stack to JJ. (Nice preflop Jeff, so you set mine 22 OOP against UTG+1 re-raises also?)

You should have raised a bit more preflop, maybe to $78 or so, hoping to get called by UTG.
In any case, that's not the kind of flop that you want for going all-in with red AA, unless it's a special tournament situation.
Edit: Given other's comments about Jeff, it's an easy fold.

you're behind his range on the flop, check and fold to any bets from him.

if JeffBoston puts money in the pot cringe then proceed to c/f any hands but the nuts and expect to split when you do have the nuts imo
