Another hand with idiot´s straight that give me some trouble.

Villain is a fish and plays a lot of hands preflop.

I don´t know if this is a check/call flop, turn and river kind of hand? I´ve heard that another coach plays his AA this way.

But I preferred to be since my rival was a fish and he could always call me with worse there.

I doubt that my rival has many aces in his range for a possible A♠:7♠: because I was blocking them. 7♠:7♦: can only hero call me on the river and I doubt any set would´ve reraised there.

So what I think the most logical scenario is that he had 7♠:6♠: and he waited to the river to reraise me.

How would you have played this hand?

If villain is a calling station I would play the hand the same. It's really hard to fold the river with the straight, but villain needs to over play some hands to make a call on the river profitable. I would expect villain has always at least a 6 in his/her hand. Otherwise the shove makes no sense.
