Preflop raise is fine, and I think I would call his reraise too.

You should reraise the flop too see if he just Cbet his overcards or really has a decent hand (villain wouldnt reraise a hand with an 8, unless its 88 or he is a complete donk)

The turn i think made this a muck.

Reads would be good here, is this one of the few decent players at this level or does he raise and bet alot? Otherwise i like your line, and since SS players like to play most aces, i think a fold on the river aint that bad, you shouldve played back on the flop if any any street IMO.

Well, seeing the hand as a whole, it looks like BB had JJ-KK. You could try to represent the ace or the 8, but I don't think you have enough fold equity to at this level. If I decided to for whatever reason, I'd probably push the river. In actuality, I probably would have played the hand the same as you.

My two cents... I suck at NL ring though.

I think that's FPS and I'd imagine a lot of players would cling onto their AK in that spot on the flop.

I think the hand was fine.

Maybe if this persists and you notice he bet/folds, then you can try to sneak in a bluff. As it stands though, I'd give him credit.

When i thought about it, reraising for the pot here basicly commits Hero. So the best line you think is c/c down the whole way unless an overcard drops (or just an A?)?

The check on the turn sure looks like the ace scared him. I'd pause just long enough to let him click the "fold to any bet" and then fire a bet at him. At low levels there's a decent chance he folds.
