Villain is a reg type of player. Is folding ever an option here? Obviously AA is top of his range in UTG, he could also have 77 that beats me but I beat a lot of aces and AK could definitely play like this.

Question: against an unknown villain, what's the play on the turn — fold, call, or shove? And separately — was the 30%/31% sizing line a mistake that created this awkward spot, vs going 50%+ on flop to set up a cleaner stack-off by the river?
