A badly played hand with AA

Maybe I was really tired after a long day at work. I couldn't focus at all and played very badly tonight. I ended the day barely breaking even after 4k hands.

My Result today:

There are a couple of hands that I played badly. Especially this hand with AA.

Learning Points:

• Villain is a 18/12 reg tag. In my notes, he is seen as a player who open wide at MP and late positions. 
• What is so bad about this hand is my call vs his flop check raise. 
• I can choose to fold (If I think he has a set) or shove to his check raise(if I think he is on a flush draw). The worst ever option here is to call his check raise.

Why?

• There is a possible flush draw on the board.
• Villain has shown strength by checking raising me. 
• If I had a monster (sets+), I am very likely to reraise him rather than to call and allow another heart to hit turn.
• By calling his check raise, I am simply telling him what I have and given that we are both reg, he can simply shove turn with any two cards and expecting me to fold a huge % of time.
