I almost made the worst lay down of my poker career.

I admit my play on the flop here is bad. I obviously should've raised and not called but for some reason I was afraid of the clubs and wanted the board to pair before I got too involved (I'd suffered a bunch of bad beats and was playing a little scared). But anyways, the interesting thing is I almost laid this hand down on the river. To me it seemed that her combined plays on each street strongly suggested A-A. Finally I said "fuck it" and went all-in anyways.

On the river the pot is laying him huge odds to call. I think that making this call (not push) over the long term is a definate EV+ move. He only needs to be holding the winning hand about 3/8s of the time for this to be the correct play.

Your opps play seems very passive. I would've guessed she was on a draw. You sometimes see TP play like this. Your turn bet seems a little weak. If you had come out with a $50 turn bet, she probably would have checked the river.
