ok, I'm thinking out loud here, so bear with me.

There are two things that you can do. Push or Check.

If you push:
- He calls with a better hand and you lose an extra $425
- He calls with a worse hand (Like AT or something) and you win pot plus an extra $425
- He folds and you win pot

If you check:
- He checks behind with his worse hand and you win pot.
- He bets $425
---- You call, he was bluffing, and you win pot plus an extra $425
---- You call, he wins and you lose an extra $425

So, he either has a better hand or he doesn't. If he has a better hand, you are going to lose an extra $425 no matter what.

If he doesn't have a better hand, you win pot for sure. You win an extra $425 one of two ways:
- By getting him to call your bet with a worse hand
- OR by inducing him to bluff on the river.

So you have to look at what of those two options he is most likely to do. I would think that it is more likely he will bluff with his worse hand after you check, than to call a bet with a worse hand.

The answer is: Check.

#1) Northview nailed my thinking exactly. But after the hand, I realized that since the pot is over $1000 and theres only $425 left to bluff, I doubt he will try to bludd me off my hand with a missed flush draw. There just isnt enough money left unless I have nothing at all. So I think a push is better especially after seeing him refuse to fold A5 on a Axx board. I checked and he checked behind. MHWG but I dont know what he had.

#2) I checked the turn and he checked behind. The river was a K. I checked.....he bet $160 and I made a horrible call. He had T9s. I have no idea why I called that but it was really bad on that board. I think reraising AQ OOP when the stacks are only 75BBs is probably a bad idea also.

This hand a little bit like your Hand No.1 althought this is only $100 NL, and Villian here I've seen him always trying to push people out of pots by going ALL IN, or making HUGE Bets with crap... Villian just sit at the table so he has Full Stack.. I cover.

5 Handed

UTG MinRaises to $2, Villian Calls, SB Folds, Hero calls in the BB with JJ (Cuestionable but I wanan trap this guy).

Flop: $6.50 ...... Hero bets $10.. Villian Calls.
Turn $26.50 ...... Hero bets $19 .. Villian Calls.
River $64.50 ..... Hero checks .. Villian Push for $74.31 (All In) .. Hero Calls.

Vilian has? ....
