MP showed A A and won $3.89 ($1.89 net)

Villains stats:
20/16 3bet: 8,5 3bet from MP: 33,3(6) Hands 167

I know that pre-flop is not standard. How bad is it to call JTs here?
OTF I thought that I would let him do the betting. Should I have bet myself to protect from draws?
OTT looked like a good card to bet. I thought he will often have AK and AQ hands but I think I was wrong here. He shouldn't be 3betting those hands vs UTG. My mistake...
OTR AA is basically only hand that he has in his range which beats me. I decide to bet small to get value from KK,QQ,crying calls from busted draws etc.. Now what hands can he raise? He didn't cbet flop, didn't raise OTT, can he have AA or can he bluff this?

Overall I think this hand was pretty poorly played. What would be a correct play here?

You played really loose since MP 3bet you. That flop misses most villains' range but since there are draws out there I would bet to protect myself against them (about 2/3 pot to make him pay for draws).

The turn card is a good one for you to get value from Ax hands, since you're only beat against AA or AJ (I believe AJ will raise often to try to isolate). OTR your bet is pretty standard, trying to get value from second best hands, although I think villain won't bluff here that much and won't raise with worse than (at least) trips. Not an easy spot, not an easy fold.

The correct play (imo) is to fold preflop.

Thanks! I know that correct play would be to fold preflop but since I called it I mostly want to know what you think about flop and river. Protect vs check back, call vs fold. What you said about betting flop and folding river sounds good.

Pre is fold, but we know that by now. An alternative to playing the flop is to donk, but I prefer to do that with a polarized range, not trips with a weak kicker. (The main virtue of donking is that your opponent will misread you often, and you hope he has an overpair and raises you.)

Apart from preflop it is normal.

Bet big on the river, you can target mostly AK/AQ there. You said he shouldn't be 3betting thеse hands but this is nl2, AK is the nuts
