$2 NLHE Full Ring: Full house facing re-shove decision from pre-flop aggressor checking on the river

Hold'em No Limit - $0.01/$0.02 - 8 players

UTG: $2.08 (104 bb)
UTG+1: $0.62 (31 bb)
MP: $2.00 (100 bb)
MP+1: $1.71 (86 bb)
CO: $2.00 (100 bb)
BU (Hero): $1.53 (77 bb)
SB: $1.94 (97 bb)
BB: $1.25 (63 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is BTN with A 4
UTG raises to $0.08, 3 players fold, CO calls $0.08, Hero calls $0.08, 2 players fold

Flop: ($0.27) T A A (3 players)
UTG checks, CO checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($0.27) 8 (3 players)
UTG checks, CO checks, Hero bets $0.17, UTG calls $0.17, CO folds

River: ($0.61) 8 (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $0.38, UTG raises to $1.83 (all-in), Hero calls $0.90 (all-in)

How would you play this hand?
Would you call the shove or not betting on the river after UTG checked?
I am afraid there is not enough hand history on UTG, if UTG is a tight passive type, I would have folded.

I would call the shove. If he has pocket Aces or A, 10, so be it.

I can live with the BTN call with A4c. I would three bet from this spot, only because the CO called and I don't want to go to the flop three way. But I don't hate it either.

If you call the raise, I'd bet the flop. Why? I don't like giving a free card against two players on a board where a draw is possible. You're risking your trips against a straight if they are raising or calling with QJs, KQs, or even KJs. It is 2NL after all.

Turn bet - fine. Maybe a bit bigger given there's now a heart draw that got a free card to get to that point but overall you got heads up.

River. Stop and look at the UTG's line: UTG Raise, check, check-call, check-raise all in. It feels like it is either a mid PP that got scared of the AA - although 88 ould be sick, but because the flop went checked, and they checked AGAIN on the turn, at 2NL I don't think it's someone getting cute with AT or TT. Very few hands beat you so I don't see how you fold.

The only reason I wouldn't snap call in this situation is if I was playing for $1,000,000

This seems like a split pot at worst 90%+ of the time.

At this buy in it has to be a snap call. Don't overthink yourself when spending $2

Yes agree I should have bet on the flop. It turns out UTG holds ATs ,very very tricky.

I would probably 3 bet preflop, but calling isn't bad though.
And I would do exactly what u have done for this hand. The river spot is def a call. U can't fold.
His range would be 88 TT/KhJh/KhTh/KhQh and some AJs+/A2s/A3s/AKo/AQo
Your hand would be stronger than them or equal at most of the spot
So I would call cause I still have about 60% equity here. And I think it would be a split pot about 36% of the time.

p.s. ATs is at the margin of his raising range since it's a full ring... I didn't see it come...would call even considering the posibility of ATs
