Re-raise. What are we afraid of here, 53? Backdoor flush? It's a semi-bluff from a guy adamant on defending his big blind with a smaller ace. If he had you beat, he'd have broke out the check raise. You're good all day. Re-raise.

what is he calling a raise that doesn't have us beat here. What happens if he threebets, then we just wasted 3BBs on the river to find out that we were beat when we could've spent 1 BB to find out the same info

To above, I don't know why I put semi-bluff, but yeah, I meant bluff. I'm retarded.

Villain has seen Hero open on the flop and turn. If Villain has the best hand, he has no reason to think Hero won't open the river either, at which time Villain can come over the top and trap Hero. Opening is a play that makes no sense in this situation, and I'd say he's probably representing a flush that he only wishes he had.
