 Villain in this hand has been fairly aggressive, showing down only good hands (mostly winners) but also taking down a lot of pots before they got to showdown. Is there anywhere we should fold on this board? River seems like a big crying call almost hoping he's out of line.

Cryptologic 2.00/4.00 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A, 3.
6 folds, Hero raises, Button 3-bets, 2 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) A, T, 6 (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero calls.

Turn: (4.75 BB) J (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero calls.

River: (6.75 BB) Q (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero calls.
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

Painful...

IMHO, check/call on flop is a crucial mistake. If you have a serious reason not to bet - then you should check/fold...

What if you bet on flop?

a) If he raises, you can fold immediately.
What he should have to raise? An ace, trips or made flush - for value; or high single diamond (KQ, KJ)- for free card. The probability of bluff is very small.
Although I tend to call in such situation - folding is probably a good move...

a1) Or you can call and check/fold on turn. If he has anything weaker than pair of aces, he should be happy to take free card

a2) You can even bet again on turn and (of course) fold if he raises on turn or bets on river. That perhaps looks too bold - but it's actually less risky than check/calling to the end, when you're probably beaten...

b) if he only calls?

I think you should bet again on turn...

I think that all those possibilities are better than check/calling to the end...

 I was actually the villain in this hand (holding Kd Kc). I was just curious as to what people thought of my opponent's play.

I agree, I think that the Hero should have made a play for the pot at some point, preferably the flop. Check-call the flop and check-fold the turn I don't like much since the aggressive button will often fire again with a wide variety of holdings after Hero has shown nothing but weakness in the hand.

you get 3bet preflop. when you call with a hand like A3s I don't think that the A is what you are looking for. most of the time your A is probably dead. I think that you should of just check/fold the flop.
