Okay, here was my thought process during the hand. Like I said in my first post, villian here is a solid thinking player, and is probably aware that I am as well. On the flop I bet out $10 into a $16 pot, which is pretty standard for me. Now he CR's to $25. I figure his range here is somewhat wide, Tx/88/J9/pocket pair/possibly air. I am 99% sure he doesn't have AA. So I can either reraise, fold, or call. If I raise, I would probably make it $60 to go, which is definitely an option, but hear me out. I figure folding is not an option. Calling the CR pretty much tells villian I have a made hand, most likely an overpair. He knows I'm not a calling station and that I wouldn't play AK this way. Therefore I really think that calling the CR versus 3-betting is sending villian the same info (that I have an overpair). When he bets the turn like that I really can't see anything I'm ahead of besides a total bluff. He didn't seem like the type of player to make huge bluffs or continued semibluffs out of position, but if he was making a move then I tip my hat.
Also, I don't understand why you think his hand rage is so narrow here. He has lots of implied odds seeing how deep the stacks are, plus a horrid calling station that will stack off with TPNK and never fold a draw. I think Tx/J9 is definitely in his range here. And how can you say that his fastplay doesn't indicate a big hand? That's ridiculous unless you have seen him in a similar situation. Given the stack sizes, his turn bet leaves him with about $90 on the river, a perfect amount for a river push in relation the pot size. This is in hopes that I won't be able to let go of AA/KK here. Thoughts?
