This person was extremely aggressive and over half his stack was transferred to someone else and then taken back at least 10 times throughout the tournament. Also, he never checked down to the river so I was 85% sure that he would bet at the turn after seeing my weakness preflop and on the flop, so I wasn't really scared of giving a free card. The turn call kind of scared me, but he was not one to slowplay. He reraised raises often and check-raised only once during the session (hand was not showed down). This helped rationalize my all in bet on the river, that and the fact he would probably push if I checked so I'd rather let him decide. Oh yeah, I left him with 30 chips after the river bet which wasn't too fun watching him win 3 showdowns in a row until he ran into AA. Anyways, should I have just bet the turn and checked the river?
