Your title says it -- you have a bluff catcher. You're not even beating the majority of Ax holdings, which could be an unlikely thin value shove.
The potential bluffs are KdQd/KdTd/54/XdYd various.

What sometimes helps here, with sufficient hands for stats, is to look at the by street aggression. That sometimes helps weird betting behavior on the river.

All in all, I don't often see a player with such stats do an all-in bluff here.
At least whenever I've convinced myself people were bluffing in situations like this and called, they always showed up with some slowplayed monster ( I think AF=2.3 players don't necessarily bet/raise their sets earlier here)

Against a standard unknown that you havent watched play or havent played with before, this is a snap fold. With history or seeing how the person plays, this could become a call. I'll try to show you what i mean. I played this hand against a total maniac a while back. Only reason I called his all-in was because of how often i had seen him do this at the table. It felt to me he had a big pair and he was like "well *** theres an ace, well *** it im all-in!"
