What hands play well against Aces
If we open the BU with a wide range (approximately 50%), and get 3B by 100% AAxx, what hands can we profitably call at 100bb deep?
I don't have monker so I can't run my own sims. What hand categories are clear calls, and which are clear folds?

I would think fairly wide when we know for sure they have AA and they 3b 100% of AA combos. AA is only 65% favorite vs top 50% of hands in 4 card and it's very easy to navigate postflop IP against known AA.
A hand like 67JQ double suited has over 40% equity vs AA.
You generally want a hand that flops smooth against AA. Double suited rundowns are good, even relatively gappy ones. Having an A in your hand is bad as are most 1 pair hands. If you have a pair, you should only be calling your most connected hands, like T997ds, not KK83ss. (Rank doesn't matter very much since your pair is never good by itself). Connected/suited 2 pair hands like 9988 are also good.
