    When first reading this I thought call easily. Upon reading and thinking about it more, it has to be a fold. His turn raise looked like a cheap showdown raise but when checked to he pushed the river which I think indicates a value bet at this point. He could very well have your hand but I think you're either chopping or destroyed and that dictates a fold.

    In the heat of battle I'd probably call though, but getting a second to think about it, folding is right. Very interesting hand.

    Tough laydown. Did he show since you layed down a small monster?

    This looks a little fishy really. Why would he raise the turn and push the river with AA/KK/AQ?

    I would call and value-reraise or overbet push the river... I would definitely want a call here...he doesn't appear to.

    Looks to me like he overplayed AK and chased you off. He raised the turn to see if you really had the Q or just a weaker ace...push the river cuz he's sure you just have a weaker ace and he has you beat if so.

    If not - excellent laydown...if so, meh - better luck next go
