thought i was trapping with AA
playing .25/.50 and i am sitting with about £90. new player has just joined the table and is in the big blind and im pretty sure he is weak and has a wide range pre flop
i am under the gun and dealt AA and raise to £2.50....i have built an image as an aggressive player and my raises have been getting very little respect.
folds round to the big blind who has £44 and flat calls.
the flop comes 3 5 7 rainbow and it is checked to me....i bet just under pot £4 making the pot ~ £9
villain flat calls
turn brings an 8 which makes 2 hearts on board. villain checks, i check thinking this isnt a great card for my hand
the river brings the 3 of hearts putting 3 hearts on the board and pairing the 3. board reads 3 5 7 8 3
i like this card for my hand as it counterfeits all 2 pair type hands and keeps me ahead of any overpairs. i also dont see my opponent having a 3 although this should make a small % of his range.
villain bets out the flop for £5. i tank and make it £13 looking to get value out of my hand. villain insta shoves for another ~£17
i know i have made a mistake on the river and prob should have just flat called but how would you play the river shove?
ill post in a couple of days with hw i played it

Your bet on the flop was a standard c-bet and virtually meaningless. I think the 8 on the turn hit him big and he was hoping to check-raise.
His £5 into the £13 on the river looks like a value bet to lure you in.
Analysing it afterwards, I'm pretty sure you're beaten. But in the heat of battle I would have called.
Clear call in a tourney with any kind of stack by the way.
Definate crying call. Ur losing to prob full house who hopes u've caught up with a flush. As you said, check on river woulda saved u all this hassle. PS well done on final table last sunday.
The chance of the turn 8 making him 2 pair is pretty slim on 25/50 im betting near the pot on the turn esp if, as u say, he is a weak player and liable to call with holdings that u have crushed like A7 or pkt 9s etc. When u check behind on the turn, not to trap but because it scares you, there is no way you can raise the river.
I think you scared yourself unduly with the turn 8, it doesnt really complete any draws and thinking he has turned 2 pair is just too cautious. If he has flopped a set on you in a pot that was heads up to the flop then you should pay him off, its unlikely that he has better than you a huge % of the time.
Im calling £17 into a pot of £70 odd he could have 78 an overpair or nothing but obv you are beaten a lot here.
i tanked and folded.....he showed 6 4 for the flopped straight....love it when my raises get respect lol
