Default Uh... shoot. (Deepstack 10+1)

I've been playing very aggressive, opening lots of hands from different positions. Also firing lots of c-bets. Just last hand I raised and took down the blinds. (Villain was BB.) He's been getting tricky with both me and the other aggressive player at the table, but I felt he was playing back at me with air. When the third heart came on the river I was very close to checking behind, but thought I would get called by weaker hands due to my image, or just the nature of the board and my betting pattern. I really didn't expect to get check/raised two straight streets. I have to call/push here right? If I fold I still have 3455 with 25/50 blinds.

Check behind on the river.

Call the chekcraise on the river. You are in too deep at this point. Pot odds call.

Your style is different from mine, but I wouldn't play superaggressive early in a $10 tournament, because the play is too loose. Pick your spots to be aggressive. When the table tightens up, then you can play superaggressive.

I typically don't like opening with AJo from UTG with such deep stacks, especially if you've been playing aggressively.

Definitely check behind on the river. You won't get any stronger hands to fold, and given the size of the pot, you really don't want to get check-raised again.

What weaker hands will check-call the flop, check-minraise the turn, and then put more money into the pot on the river? I can think of roughly none (well, maybe a donkey playing A10 would call a river bet, but I think that's about it).
