3 aces facing river shove - Call/Fold?
wow... tough spot. You have to ask yourself what he's calling you with there... if he's aggro, he's way more likely to reraise with Q's or J's preflop. 7's? possible, I guess, though I'd expect a raise on the flop.
For me, if he's a good player, he's picking up on your check on the turn. He looked at that as weakness and when you bet on the river, he reshoves thinking you haven't got a hand and tried to pick it off. Realistically, the only hands beating you are K10, QQ, JJ, 77, A7/AJ/AQ/AK. Of those I'm only putting him on K10, 77 or one of the A combinations. If it's 77, he's done an amazing job of keeping it quiet, if it's K10 then it's been pretty loosely played in my opinion. Any of the aces are a reasonable possibility, but you're unlucky if he has the only remaining ace in the deck coupled with another of the board cards, there's a heap of raggy aces he could make the same move with.
I'd be calling that, and I think based on the hand, I'm expecting KJ or QJ- I think he turned 2 pair and checked, thinking he's ahead (he would have been) and then had the intention to raise it up heavily on the river, hoping you'd bet out again. A scared him a bit.
Like I said, tough decision... but based on your stack sizes, I'd have to go with it- sometimes he may have the nuts, but I don't think he always will. It all depends on just how good your read on him is- if he's as aggressive as you say he is, he won't mind betting out heavily on a hand that isn't unbeatable.

The guy unfortunately is forum banned, but in the chatbox he said he wouldnt mind me posting his name.
Loose, agg player, makes alot of moves, but is this EVER a bluff????
Very awkward spot.
In Response to Re: Call/Fold?: Very true but i cant think of one hand that i would of played the way the villian has, can you?
As played fold river. You are essentially calling to chop. Depening on the player tho he may be doing this with A4 etc not realising what a bad play it is.
this might surprise ya JJ but even I would fold this 1 lol ... like what has already been said at best i think your callin to chop. my guess would be he is holdin AJ/A7 maybe K10/77
