Pretty early in the Red Spade open. Villain was pretty agressive (36/32/3) over 13 hands. Normally I would 3bet in this spot because I am out of position but with the blinds being so small and no antes I decided on a flat.

Thoughts on the line and what his river sizing means.

I'm shipping it in here all day. There aren't a lot of hands that beat you, but there are a lot of hands he's going to raise turn, bet river with that you are absolutely crushing. He's probably going to raise every Ax of hearts he has. He will raise all two pairs on turn, and possibly raise some of his draws. The only draw that got there was QJ, so unless he has exactly QJ of hearts, it is unlikely he has that.

You are beat by a few sets, but if you are really worried about that being there, then you can just call here. I think calling is a loss of chips, but some players like to play it safe in spots when they just are not 100%. There is no way I would every fold this hand, as played this way.
