I'm not sure what input you are looking for. If you are wanting validation, then the way you played the hand is fine given that your opp is an aggro bluffer. If you are wanting to find out where you could have played different - then the answer is the turn. You could have just c/c turn to keep the pot smaller, or you could have just shoved after he 3-bet your minraise.

thanks, just looking for a second opinion

Yeah I'm not a fan of the turn, there's too many rivers we don't like. I'm happy to get the money in on the turn, rather than pot control.

When you say he's making "odd bluffs", has he been doing it for stacks against aggression? Has he been folding at all as the pre flop raiser in position? Because *maybe* we can fold the river, considering we showed strength on the turn and he didn't flinch. Much depends on how his previous bluffs looked, and if this is following the same pattern or not.

Considering we're now losing to AA, as well as his boats, Tx and AQ, I think it's not so great as it looks. Then again he might be drunk, in which case it's an easy call.
