Hero.......?Villian has been aggressive, but not donkish/crazy type aggressive. This is just so weird. I dont think he would shove with A high. But my river check makes it seem like Im not strong so why would he push a big pair??Im seriously lost...

I tend to believe him here. Moves like this are designed to look desperate. If this is a bluff, his story doesn't add up.

I think he has you beat more often that not. The check on the flop looks suspicious, since ace-high would have led out on the flop. More likely a pp higher than yours or even possibly A-6. Who knows though, you showed weakness on the river so he could have shoved with anything if he's an aggressive player.I probably would have thrown in a half-3/4 sized pot bet on the river, and folded if he came over the top.

Why didn't you bet the flop or the river? As played I think you have to fold, but you certainly gave him the opportunity to take you off the (possibly) best hand.
