Default Re: A5o value raise?

What do you reasonably put the aggressive player on that you cannot beat?

65, 66, 87 (with a singleton heart), or a flopped nut flush. He may have missed a check raise attempt on the flop, and now doesn't want to face the field with a raise on the turn that they likely won't call. A lot of overaggressive players turn passive when they have a monster, which just boggles my mind. What's the point of all that aggression if they won't go for the big payoff when they actually have something? Anyway, everyone should know I'm a big fan of value bets, but a river reraise here looks a lot more like a kamikaze resteal attempt than a value bet to me. Not that I don't disapprove of the occassional kamikaze bet (and this might be a good place for it if you know your man), but let's call a spade a spade, shall we?
