This was my first hand at the table - I have no reads !

I'd like to hear how a winning player would think in a hand like this ?

You can't call this. He could have limped A5, A9, 33, 99, 55, etc. You basically beat nothing he's shoving with since he definitely doesn't have an AQ type of hand, so I'm comfortable letting this go.

ya dont be a sucker to sucker all in's on the river, remember the pot is small.

in unraised pots when i hit the flop this hard I typically just keep betting pot until I am raised...then I reevaluate. Two pair isn't good in those situations that often. This is closer with top 2. But I expect you are beat by a better two pair here probably A5...maybe a set.

Easy Fold.

Most players will call with an ace, so a better 2p is in his range for sure.
