lol, I'm a mess.
Villain is somewhat of an unknown, although at the time, we had been playing for a bit together on just this table. We've butted heads a few times prior to this, but never have either of us put a signifcant portion of our stacks into the pot against each other. I get the feeling that he's kinda fishy with a clue but luckboxed his way to a big stack. That's just speculation on my part though.
Onto the hand...
Preflop is very sketchy, I know. Obviously I normally fold here but occasionally call with this type of hand particularly in late position. If somebody wants to say 'fold pf', well, I know I have given that advice a lot so I guess I'll just have to take it. 
FWIW, I'm guessing that he's opening upwards of 10% of his hands preflop...
Flop and turn seem fairly standard. I'm pretty sure he has a hand like TPTK/TPGK/AA.
River brings 3h and he makes sort of a blocking/value bet. I'm now almost entirely certain that I know what he has (K7 is not even worth a call here against this villain I don't think. He's never put in 3-bets post-flop before.)
As I'm hovering my mouse over the fold button, I tell myself that he can't call a push here. Hence, I push. Bear in mind that I understand how infrequently I have to be good here to make a call correct so please don't point that out. In my eyes it's just risking $476 to win $276 as I'm sure I'm not good.
FWIW I'd be thrilled to do this with a big hand here although since he is not a regular that doesn't really matter.
Hmmm, thoughts?
