This is about 6 hours into the tournament (see blind levels).

Reads I have on my opponent is he drinks too much and has no dress sense.

Should I just call his bet on the river or do what I did and raise for value?

    lol

    Like the levelling raise pre-flop. I can't believe you lost 100BB with only the third nuts, though. What were you thinking? :P

    Nice hand.

    Can I also point out that I did think he was slowrolling me.....until I found out later that he had actually fell off his chair laughing before he could compose himself enough to press the call button.

    Also, someone wrote in the chat box 'How big is your kicker?' while the hand was in play, which I think was totally uncalled for.

    AA, AJ, A4, A5. 3rd nuts?

    Cooler, UL. Can't see a problem with reraise as is he often having AA when no reraise pre, and AJ fairly unlikely given your hand, and the others unlikey even with level 3bet pre. Though assuming this post is just a level in itself?

    I think your reads on your opponent are spot on. The rest is just meant to happen.
