Hand from Stars $150

[Ian J]

I think you have to fold here on the river. He calls the flop when there are virtually no draws out there for him to be calling with. I think you played the hand optimally up to the river.

The only way I see you being ahead here is if the villain is thinking enough and ballsy enough to test you because your preflop raise is indicative of a strong pair. It could also be AK though, so it's hard to say. From the looks of it, he flopped a set or has A5-A2, in that order.
