Default 2-5 Wynn hand

I have $650. My opponent has under 300. I have been raising a lot in position and making some moves and I am up a little. My image is pretty aggressive. My opponent appears to be a pro who plays okay. I raised a limper with JT earlier and he called the $20 and mucked on a 9 high flop and showed 77 and said "well I think a better opportunity will come up".

So I get AhQh in cuttoff and raise to $20. He cold calls on button. Heads up.

Flop A J 8r. I bet $30 and he calls.

Turn is a rag. I check. He checks.

River is another rag putting runner runner spades out. I think for a while and bet $75 into a $105ish pot. He raises rather quickly all-in for 160 more.

So you kids help an old limit grinder out and tell me what's up.

Default Re: 2-5 Wynn hand

He could be bluffing... but I doubt it.

Is he really calling on the flop to take it away from you on the river, though?

Is there any hand worse than yours that he could think was good AND would want to raise you with here?

If he was running a bluff, he would have bet the turn.

As far as I can see it, there are 3 reasons to check behind on the turn:
a) He has a monster and thinks you have air.
b) He picked up a draw
c) Pot control

In the case of c, I really don't think he raises the river. In a or b, you're behind.

The rest of the hand looks good, now fold.
