The villian here has been playing absolutely insane. Calling raises with any two cards, calling big bets with second and third pair, chasing every draw, and he's hitting hands hard. He's directly on my left and I have been grinding away for three hours trying to catch a hand against him. I had to tighten up my raising requirements b/c he's calling everything and raising most hands folded/limped to him. For perspective about 10-15 hands ago I had 99 and raised, he called, BB reraised Hero and Villian both call. Flop 984 rainbow, BB leads out pot, I smooth call villian raises, BB (who was almost all in calls and is now all in) I reraise all in for about 350, villian calls with A8o and I take down 1250 pot. So now this hand comes up between us. I knew he would raise preflop so I set the trap.

How's my play to the river considering my read and considering how deep stacked we are? What's the play here on the river? Pot is about 900 at this point and he very well may have been drawing to the flush, but I don't think I could fold if he pushed considering the range of hands he may actually be on.

I'd close my eyes and push/pray. If you're not folding to his push, then you should push yourself.

I think your play is good, just push and if he has the flush pay him off, he's calling without the proper odds, it's his mistake but if he has it, well next time he doesn't have it, you can't predict this kind of opponents.

Hard2tel I really think check folding here is way to weak, unless he pushes and even then I think that may be a fairly weak play.

Also, to all who suggest a bigger raise, I fully agree I messed up there, but I think this mistake in this instance made absolutely no difference in the hand, as I would have still led out for near pot on flop and turn, although I may have been able to narrow his hand range a bit. I'd love to get a few more comments before I post what happened.
