Hi guys,

Make light on this hand! :-D What I made wrong here? Why is he pushing me on the river? Possible range that he might have?
What is the correct decision from me: re-raise/all-in or fold. I think all of us would go here all-in...or?

Villain is something like 16/12 over aprox. 100 hands. From what I saw chooses very carefully his spots and had some hands played very aggro. and consistent.

Why aren't you reraising the turn?

As played, shove the river. It would be strange even for a 16/12 to complete the SB with TT.

Hello,

I tried not to scare him because I think that he doesn't have such a great hand on this point and maybe getting value on the next street. I didn't think ever that he will re-raise me on the river. :-)

On the turn think about all the draws he may have picked up. Many of them he won't be folding to a raise. Just calling allows him a very nice price to try and hit the river. It's also extremely unlikely he's folding Ax and if he puts you on a draw you may also get river value.

I shoved the river and I was stacked.

He had AA. Can you believe this? :-D

I can believe it. Many lines are played at 5NL. As for this villain, he took some risks of not getting value for his Aces allowing two players to hang around for two streets. In this case, the line worked for him.

It is true that you could have found out a little more about Villain's hand with a 3bet on the turn. At this point the draws the Villain may have picked up (FD + gutshot) wouldbeat you if they came in on the river. The 3bet, charging for his possible draws, seems to be the correct play here, maybe with the idea of folding to a 4bet which probably indicates a better 2-pair or set.

Once you fill up on the river, you were bound to be stacked. Then again, if we were experts, we would not be playing in the micros.
