65s hits bottom 2 pair
Home game... $20NL buyin, .25/50 blinds 9-handed
Late at night..around 4am
Hero ($55)
Villain covers
Notes on Villain:
Villain is normally very aggressive, but also knows I'm fairly tight. He's been in line most of the night though, because we're at a large table.
I -have- seen him limp in with big pocket pairs in the past, but it's not overly common.
That said:

Thoughts?
Preflop: standard
Flop: Should I re-raise/push here?
Turn: Raise the turn?
River: This is a very unusual sized bet for Villain. Normally, I won't see much bigger than a $10 bet from him. $15 is a -large- bet in our home game. Normally people underbet the turn/river because they have no concept of pot size.
He knows I've shown strength - but what can he possibly have? Way overplayed AK? Seems an unlikely bet for such a big hand. AJ? KK? But he limped preflop? (he's done this in the past, just probably 1/10 times)
I rule out a set, because he didn't raise preflop, and i'm holding both a 4 and a 5. The 8 didn't really help any straight, unless he's got something ridiculous like 97, but he already re-raised the flop.
What the hell can I put him on? See results.
