Villain is a pretty good, profitable player for the casino, have played with him a few times before. Plays aggressively with a fairly wide range. Have seen him limp reraise with ak, aces, call raises and reraises with pocket pairs, suited connectors and will pull a bluff if he thinks he can get you off your hand.
Villain ~$550 stack
Hero ~$380
2 limpers
Hero- AsKs bets $17
Villain calls
2 more callers
Pot ~$65
Flop Ac5c5s
First two players check
Hero bets $50
Villain reraises to $100
2 folds
Hero??

have you seen him check-min-raise the flop before?
Seems like a very standard call and re-eval on the turn. although probably not folding many turns either.

How many 5s are in his range? Does he play 54s to a 8.5x raise with position? I'm temped to fold flop unless I know he's capable of playing a flush this way. Your hand looks pretty face up in this spot and I don't think he's trying to fold you out with a min-raise.
He could be setting up stacks nicely for a turn shove if he is paying attention to your stack size OR he is buying a free river card with a FD. All nut flush draws are out too considering the Ac is on board. I fold.

I couldnt put him on a 5, other than 55 with the $17 pf raise. A5 I didnt think he would call either. When he minraised I felt like he had AQ or more likely AK.
Anyways I called and the turn was a 7. We both check. River is a T and i check and he bets $75

Bluffy villains tend to think everyone is FOS all the time. There are a lot of live players who try to put you on an exact hand and never let go of it. "Oh, he raised so much cuz he has JJ-KK and doesn't want a lot of callers with A-rag." So he puts you on KK and when the A hits, he thinks he can take you off the hand with a min-raise.
Or, he is "raising for information" with Ax to see if his A is any good. After the turn check-check your hand looks a lot like a weak A or underpair, surely you're good here 1 in 5 times or more.

It felt really weak, but I felt like I was playing for a chop. And in the off chance he did have a 5 I really didnt want to commit my whole stack.
I called the $75 and he flipped over 57s

baudib, I don't think any "pretty good, profitable player" plays back at your range on an A55s board with air when the PFRer cbets $50 into a $65 pot in a 4way hand. It just doesn't fit the Hero's read.
Dsmrolla06, I'd like to say open shove the river after his check back on the turn & put his AQ in a terrible spot, but that would require that I know he doesn't flop raise AT(it doesn't sound like this villain would). If I am unsure about AT or a 5 then I just snap call the river.

As described this is a standard stack-off.
I also think your flop bet is too big.
