Getting CK-R'd on the river after checking turn behind

Villain is 29/7/30 after about 50 hands with the last number being his aggression frequency for those of you who use this feature from PA. We have played one biggish pot this far where Hero flopped trips in a limped pot from the blinds and made two PSB on the flop and the turn and then induced an almost pot-sized bluff from Villains flushdraw. Maybe this is unimportant but atleast he has the balls to try making moves like this. Hero's table image is TAG when the following hand takes place:

Given your description easiest call in the world.

When he raises the river he could have air. The way you played it, your $35 bet really looks like a steal with AK-AQ, which looks weak, and opens the door for a re-steal.

He could be slowplaying a monster. A lot of these guys who will go nuts with top pair and big draws will slowplay sets to death. It makes no sense, but they do it.

I really don't think he has a hand like 66-88, TT, or A9. A player this aggressive is going to put the screws to you on good flop like this one with those hands, and pick up the pot the times you have unpaired overs. These are the only hands you beat that might call your river value bet, and I don't think he has one of them.

So when he checks to me on the river, I think he either has air, which he will either fold or quite possibly make a bluff that I can't call. Or he has me crushed. So I take the free showdown with my pair of jacks.

As played, I call the river raise.

It is not a bad play by him. Given the action, it looks like you are trying to buy the pot with missed overs or a missed draw. I like his reraise, it's just too bad you made top pair. Call.

Villain shows 33 and MHING. Strange play by him indeed.
