Default TS $5k ME hand vs g-p

This is from day 1 of the TS $5k. blinds are 150/300/50 and g-p is new to the table and I don't know who he is. I think somebody told me he was a good LAG and thats all I had to go off of.

g-p is utg with around 25k probably I'm not sure because he sucks at stacking chips, I cover with around 80k.

He opens utg to 1k and its folded to me on the button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I reraise to 3200 and he calls after some thought.

Flop is 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
He checks.
I bet 5500.
He calls.

Turn A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
He checks.
I check.

River 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
He bets the rest of his remaining 7 blue (1k) chips and has ~10k behind.
I...?

wouldn't not be surprised to see a pair of aces and flush draw or flushdraw for villian...might be worth a call to see what hands hes calling your raises w/preflop and on flop if you're willing to pay for information.

Maybe he is bluffing and repping the ace? Standard line is to fold though.

g-p raises 60% of his hands PF legitimately, also will call reraises with 84s there etc. He's calling you on the flop with any pair, and any 6x or 7x sometimes. But he's not the type to raise A2o utg.

The ace is soo little of his range If you call AK on the river QQ is a call too.

man this is a pretty interesting hand. i think our hand is prob face up to a good player like g-p which makes it even tougher. but i think given that its a fold.

also i dont necessarily agree that ak = qq here. id be much more inclined to call ak.

Call. You only have to be right 26% of the time.

I think this is a terrible spot for g-p to be bluffing. Your hand looks like a big pair or big ace checking behind to induce bluffs on the end, and barring some sort of history there's no reason he would ever expect you to fold either of those hands to this bet. Of course sometimes people make bad bluffs when they realize "omg only way I can is to bet", but I'd expect g-p to be better than that.
