Your play? Remember to consider his stack size.

The combination of his stack being so small plus the possibility of a lower two pair make this a crying call for me. I call a river bet unless the river makes one to broadway possible. If he has QT I shrug.

I put the villain on an A high flush draw. Probably AQ /images/graemlins/spade.gif or AT /images/graemlins/spade.gif since you would have very likely seen a reraise from AK /images/graemlins/spade.gif. If he has QT, like wayfare said, it's just a tough break, but you've still got a few outs on the river if you're wrong.

I voted for push... he simply doesn't have enough money left in his stack to consider a fold IMHO. Top two pair in this situation I think will be better more times than not, considering he might have viewed you on a steal of sorts from the CO.

This is tough, but I think I would tend to lay this down. Unless this guy is a pretty bad player. I think that he is only making this move with a set or straight here. His raise to $65 is to make it more enticing for you to call, I think. He knows that it if you call, it's going all in. I think that he has to know you have a strong hand here (what does he think you have AQ?), and thus also has a very strong hand. If he were to try and blow you off a steal, I think his place to do it is the flop.

If you do call, you still have 4 outs (most likely), so it isn't too bad, but I just feel that you are most likely behind here.
