Hi there

I would like comments on all streets postflop - preflop is standard. This might be a super standard spot, but comments please :-)

Villian is a nit, and plays 17/2/2 over 150 hands.

Villian: Check
Hero: Bet $6.50 - I bet out again - hoping he has AK or so
Villian: Raise $13.00 - hmmm - whats his range here?
Hero: Raise $53.72 - can't put him on anything that I don't beat as AA or JJ (those would have reraised preflop - right?)

You are waaay ahead and villain is trying to valuetown you.

Just call and give him a chance to valuetown the rest of his stack on the river. I migh bet slightly more on the flop (like, 2/3--3/4 of pot) obviously representing the ace

Villain is either holding AA, JJ, 55 or AJ, and yeah, i think AA would'a 3bet you anyway so you are almost certainly ahead (though potentially not, i call it a cooler if you are behind)
Still then again, given villain is obviously repping a monster, you will probably get the same effect from shoving turn - just on the "off chance" he might fold to your shove (wtf?) there is zero harm in just calling and then shoving the river.
