I don't know what the best play is here. I can see merits in both actions. Calling might convince CO to continue, and we crush both ranges.
We are out of position vs CO but there's not many boards that they have a big range adv really. While BB could overplay and pay off lots of pairs and TPTK post that otherwise duck the shove. Kerchinggg
Alternatively, are we losing EV against BB 4b/call range?
Was going to check in gtow but I expect the gto answer is less EV than the exploit cos ranges
Jam to cooler BB.

Always jam. There is 3b on the CO. If you call and he cold calls there will be a big chance you get the cooler.
He has to jam or fold but....
If you were tagged as a reg and just called here, I in BB would be super suspecting you having AA here... For that reason I like jam and its likely BB has stack off hand
Well I play these games so I don't know if its a clear jam here. I would say that if you're fresh at the table and you don't have history with the guy, as in you haven't been 3betting and 4betting light, you should just call, because you look too strong if you jam. However, if you feel like you've been out of line, jam so he calls with 99+.
If CO if is a fish they still call AK and 99-QQ a good amount if you jam. Vs 2 regs easy jam you don't want BB to give up AK/KK/QQ post
