5/10 HU against aggrooo, how is this river c/r?

[griffey24]

- Villain has been very aggressive so far, and raising most of his buttons and 3-betting all of my button raises, if he's in a hand.
-I haven't been playing with him that long, but I noticed how many hands he was playing and decided to tighten up a bit, so he's been stealing a lot of my blinds and seeing me fold a lot postflop
-he hasn't seen me make any plays at him yet, and all hands I've 3-bet him in so far I've shown down mostly top pair with aces

Here are a couple of hands before the hand in question:

hand 2:
-I thought about raising this flop, but with the way he had been playing and stack sizes I figured he would come back over the top pretty often and I didn't wanna get taken off my draw

HAND IN QUESTION:
-second hand in session that I flat called pre instead of 3-betting, had been 3-betting all other hands from OOP
-turn call is questionable, but I expected him to bet it and I legitimately thought I could be ahead. Though a fold or raise is probably best here, but he had been barrelling allllll the time
-river I put his range heavily weighted towards an A, and my range could definitely have a 4 in it. I don't think he can call here without a 4 given the size of the push. Good/bad/crazy/spewfest?

It hurts to look at this tbh.

1. I don't see you calling turn nearly psb with a gutshot (you could reasonably have 4sxs or 45).
2. Your line looks like missed flushdraw.
3. Villain isn't always folding a set or even two pair.
4. A good player will wonder why you are making a bet that can only be called with the nuts or very close to it, when he knows that you know that he very likely does not have it.
5. He knows that you are getting frustrated with his barreling.

Villain is betting almost pot three streets, so he might have a big hand. He has to fold about 75% of the time for this to be profitable.

Instead of raising, you can just call here if you think he is full of it.

A good player doesn't always need a big hand to make a big call:

Seat 3: VILLAIN ($1,684.40 in chips)
Seat 8: HERO [ AD,8C ] ($621.00 in chips)
ANTES/BLINDS
VILLAIN posts blind ($3), HERO posts blind ($6).

PRE-FLOP
VILLAIN calls $3, HERO bets $22, VILLAIN calls $22.

FLOP [board cards 6D,10C,KS ]
HERO bets $45, VILLAIN calls $45.

TURN [board cards 6D,10C,KS,3D ]
HERO checks, VILLAIN bets $105, HERO bets $548 and is all-in, VILLAIN calls $443.

RIVER [board cards 6D,10C,KS,3D,10H ]

SHOWDOWN
HERO shows [ AD,8C ]
VILLAIN shows [ JD,AH ]
VILLAIN wins $1,241.

I think these are two really good quotes that I need to take out of this hand. Especially the second quote. Sometimes I just assume that they will need a big hand to make such a big call and I don't think thats necessarily the case.

Definitely in my mind when I made the push I was thinking "he doesn't have a 4, and the only way he can call such a big push is with a 4".. and thats probably a really bad thing to think.

Thanks for the good comments pocketfours
