Well, I wasn't going to make a big point of it, since you said not to... but yeah. You mishandled a few things here even before the ill-advised river raise. I'm not crazy about the pre-flop limp (or even playing ATo from middle position at all - but if you're going to play it, raise it). Then you definitely should have folded the flop to his re-raise. But ignoring all that, just calling on the river is probably your best play. I understand how you got to that point, and he's definitely putting out the "I have you beat" value bet, but at that point the pot is large enough to warrant simply calling and hoping. Raising, not so much.
