A few more additional comments about hand reading and player tendencies in the micros. As this whole hand was played out, Hero is very clearly representing an ace. Call preflop, check-call flop, check-raise turn, bet river. On a dubble paired board no hand worse than AAATT does this for value. So when Villain raise the river, he is clearly saying, he can either beat AAATT, or he wants AAATT to fold. Going back to the Zeebo theorem it would generally be an ill adviced move to try to make someone fold AAATT. So what is far more likely here, is, that his massive overbet is for value. Which mean, that he can beat AAATT, if he can hand read at all.

We dont have much info on this opponent, but given, he is from Ukraine, he is most likely some sort of reg. Either he is a new reg building up his first bankroll. Or he is a reg, who lost most of his bankroll at higher stakes, or had to withdraw it to pay his bills, and therefore he has moved back down to 2NL again to rebuild. This mean, we should expect at least some hand reading capabilities. But we should not expect, that this is someone, who attempt to play a perfectly balanced game and might take a hand like QT and turn it into a bluff (blocking TT and AQ). And as a general rule from the micros, when our hand is face up, and our opponent say, they can beat that hand, we can generally just believe them and fold, unless we have a very clear reason not to. Like for instance the opponent being a known maniac.
