Default AK-hand...what does he have? (25/50NLT)

Me: UTG with $6200
Button: $7000
(10 players)

I limp. 2 more limpers and the button miniraises to $100.
All fold to me, I reraise to $500 and only the button calls.

Flop: J42

I bet $750. Button calls.

Turn: K

I check. Button check.

River: A

I bet $1600. Button go all-in and its now $3350 for me to call.

There were never any flush draws on the board. Fold or call?
What does he have? Should I have played it differently?

Looks like air (unlikely unless you have a read), 22/44, or AJ. UNless he was floating with QTs I don't see what else he could be on. Your LRR is representing AA/KK so villain better have a strong hand to do this unless he has seen you LRR non AA/KK hands UTG before. What's your image at the table and what have you noticed about this villain? Has he seen you LRR before? If so what with?

Since you are repping AA/KK it would not make much sense for your opponent to make this bet with a set. You should consider if he is good enough to realize how bad a play that would be and then think about if either
A) he can put you on exactly AK
B) he in fact has AA/KK

FWIW, I definitely think this a tough spot, and I would probably fold, but it probably looks more like a call if your opponent is either very good or very bad.

I folded. Hated to lay it down but I just felt beaten.
Analyzing it afterwards I came to the same conclusion, that his most likely holding was AA.

Glad to hear I wasnt way off. And I like the comment about
being more inclined to call vs a very good or very bad player.

he probably has 53s followed by an unlikely AA, or he could be an idiot and be value raising w/ a set. either way this is not a spot very many will bluff at.

def wierd hand. i didnt think of 53s till prev mentioned it, and that does make plenty of sense. who the [censored] mini raises AA limped 4 ways? then again who miniraises any hand in that spot.. dont think its a bluff, probably a retarted push with a lower set or AA. either way i think ur pretty much always losing, good fold
