Ace/Rag, But a Great Board

Still at work, so no hand history. Please comment on all streets. What, if anything, did I do right or wrong?

Villain is a LAG. He is 50/6/3 through about 120 hands. He is in MP with $140, I am in the SB with $86. Party Poker $100 NL, .5 and 1 blinds.

I get dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Folds to villain, who limps, co limps, I raise to $6, BB folds, villain calls, co folds. Heads up, ~$14 in the pot.

Flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] I bet $10, villain calls. ~$34 in pot.

Turn: 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] I check, villain checks.

River: A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] I check (figuring we are going to chop), villain bets $40, I call.

Again, all comments on all streets welcome. The reason I posted this hand is because the villain here absolutely berated me in the chatbox after this hand for calling on the river, and it got me second-guessing myself to the point where I left the table soon after. The river looked like a no-brainer call to me. Am I an idiot?

No, I probably check-call here too. But $40 is scary, depending on reads, I might fold, but never to a LAG.

[MINETZ]

wow, with those stats on him, im all in.

Fold Pre-Flop

I don't get it... what's wrong with calling with Aces over Deuces.

[kyro]

I would fold because it's obvious villain has 22.

NO I WOULDN'T [censored] FOLD HERE.

[trumpman84]

Am I reading this wrong here or don't we have the 3rd nuts behind 22 and A9.

[Voltron87]

folding the river is not an option. ts an easy easy call.

i really like checking the turn, and the check on the river.

See, this is exactly what I was thinking--how could I not call here. But Villain was so emphatic in calling me an effing idiot afterward that I thought maybe I had missed something, or maybe everybody would just assume he had A9 or 22. Villain was a pretty insane LAG, but even considering the source he got me thinking maybe I had made a mistake. It was like having somebody tell you emphatically, repeatedly and with complete sincerity that the grass is red. You get like, "well, it looks green to me, but..." Like I said in the original post, I was certain this was a no-brainer call, and then villain got in my head afterward.

Anyway, thanks for the comments. Villain turned over J9 and mhig.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the raise out of the SB with A8 off? For myself I think I'd just get into more trouble than it's worth at the 6 max games, but I don't think I'm too hot in the post flop department.
