Villain is a 16/5 which makes me discount the flush possibilities, but then again there are only so many A's I beat...

Comments on river action welcome. I bet because I didn't want him to check behind a smaller A because of the flush card. I think I may have overestimated how many A's I actually beat though with the 9 and T coming on board...

i think this is a fold on the river, he will either have a flush AT or sometimies AK... i think betting the river vs. a reg. opponent is good... vs. a 5 pfr it's a little more iffy, since you only beat AJ

villaini's agg factor would be some help, i often donk this flop

If his stats are right you can fold this. AJ is not in his range and I cant imagine him reraisebluff.

Folding preflop against this kind of player is also good.

I like your river bet, since it's a bit of a blocking bet as well.

I'm leaning towards a fold, because he's nitty and his postflop line makes sense if he has a flush, A5 or 55.
There is not much he value-raises which you can beat.
