Villain is awful

3rd took guts. That's the right play against most players I'd think, but I'd be much happier with a better pair so you don't get overcarded.

Third isn't a standard play for me on third but I liked it here. Against a normal Ace complete I just fold, against any other card I sometimes reraise, sometimes call, sometimes fold. This guy was too terrible to not play here though, and with an Ace complete+2 bets I was very confident this pot would be HU.

Unless original raiser is a bit of a maniac, I'm not really fond of the reraise. Of course, if I decide to play the 55A, I'm raising, but I guess I question playing it in the first place under most situations.

After 3rd it's all pretty automatice, given the cards that fell. The river is a clear value bet. You've very likely got the whole pot. I don't see many hands that can raise you, but he's going to bet anything that beats you if you check - so don't give him a free showdown.

i def value bet the river and i def think you should play this on 3rd unless youre certain villain isnt just stealing, then its fairly close but i still play it because you say hes awful.
