First question – thoughts on 3betting vs. calling on the flop?  I considered 3betting the flop (would have gone to ~13000), since I felt like he was just playing his stack to bully and would make this check-raise with a wide range.  But since it's a rush and thus I'm readless here I opted to just call.  @nocturnal1 said in the TPE chat he liked the call to let him continue to bet worse aces, which was also my thinking.

I check the turn for pot control, felt like w/ his huge stack he would at least float any bet I make…thoughts?

Finally, the pot-sized river bet he leads seemed fishy sizing-wise.  Seemed like he was again just putting me to the test, as from his perspective considering my raise pre and cbet-call on the flop he could put a significant portion of my range on AT-AK or a draw, and that he was lazily clicking pot instead of thinking of a value bet size.  This would put me to a tough decision when I'm holding AJ or AQ which would be 50% of my perceived range of aces that he needs to bluff me to win the pot.

I did call the river, but will hold off posting results until some thoughts are posted.
