Hi not sure about my play on the River...

The Hand:
PokerStars - $0.16 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by Holdem Manager 3

BTN: $16.10 (100.6 bb)
SB: $16.00 (100 bb)
BB: $22.68 (141.8 bb)
UTG: $23.52 (147 bb)
MP: $15.92 (99.5 bb)
Hero (CO): $19.07 (119.2 bb)

SB posts $0.08, BB posts $0.16

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.24) Hero has A♣: K♥:
UTG raises to $0.40, fold, Hero raises to $1.44, 3 folds, UTG calls $1.04

Flop: ($3.12, 2 players) 2♥: A♦: A♥:
UTG checks, Hero bets $0.98, UTG calls $0.98

Turn: ($5.08, 2 players) T♣:
UTG checks, Hero bets $1.76, UTG calls $1.76

River: ($8.60, 2 players) 3♦:
UTG checks, Hero bets $8.80, UTG raises to $19.34 and is all-in, Hero ????

My thoughts to this hand:

pre -> i guess that is quiet standard.

flop -> i bet smallish because not many handy will call a big bet here. Trips with Top Kicker. (maybe i give FD a too good price?)

turn -> i bet smallish because not many handy will call a big bet here. Trips with Top Kicker.

River -> not the best card, but if villain is a little bit skilled he will never have 45 in this situation, right?
so last chance to extract value, i diced to bet half pot against JJ-KK and weaker Ax combos....

What do you guys think about this hand?
What should be the best action vs. villains shove? and why? which range do you give villain here?

Very weird bet sizings. Bet a little bit bigger on the flop. In 3bet pots standard betsize is like 1/2. You could deviate ofcourse but with good reasons and information.

On the microstakes the general rule is: If you face such an aggression on the river you are almost always beaten. Unless you are against total maniac. The main problem here is that your bet on the river is way to big and you dont have enough SPR to fold. The other problem is that villian is hardly bluffing. There is not enough SPR for his bet to look strong.

Maybe i will go broke here with this SPR i will have hard time folding. There is some hands in his range that you beat like AQ and AJ. Maybe some busted flushdraws but it's a big MAYBE, i wouldnt rely on that.

i bet smallish because not many handy will call a big bet here

Some weaker Ax hands + flushdraws will call here. You want charge them a little bit harder

Not sure why you betting small on the flop and turn and more than pot size on the river. Especially the bet sizing on the river is weird. Now you need to call villains shove for sure, but there aren't to many hands you beat that would play like that.

Cheers,

You have top trips top kicker in 3bet pot, you have to call this off, I guess at 150BBESS this would be a fold in these stakes.

Hero call, he could have often A-trip too with AQo+ ATs+, No flush, straight. Of course he could have AT and you loose. but not expecting A2, A3., TT-KK he is loosing or fold on the flop.
