i would love to see some math on this. i'm obviously betting the river 100% of the time. afte the hand i wondered how much more i could have bet and gotten called. which play has the largest +ev? an all-in bet there? i dont see how he can fold AK if i push. however, he could possibly fold AJ and lower. what do you guys think?

didn't read the hand, answer is all-in. Either they call or they don't, EV = 50 % of shove, which is the max you can make

Aside from everything else I don't see how you could possibly suspect he has a hand that strong given the action...I'm sure he would have called most anything, but I think your bet was fine.
