Thinking about it later, I felt like his pushing range on the river over the top of my healthy bet was something like {AQ, straight, set}. I've shown a ton of strength with my line and he hasn't pushed light before. Heck, he has no reason to rule out the wheel for me based on the action, so he's got to worry if he has a hand like aces up. This guy is fundamentally a caller, not a raiser, recall.

If we assume that the only broadway straights he can have are the flush draws, then that's 9 AQ and 3 222 that I beat, and 16 54, 3 AAA, 3 QQQ, 3 JJJ, 2 KTs that I lose to. I'm getting about 0 ev on a call based on this range. You guys can laugh my hand range off the forum if you want, but he was MUCH more of a caller than a raise, and based on our history he knew he wasn't going to blow me off my hand.

Certainly if he poooshes with any aces up, or even just with AJ+, then it's a quite profitable call.
