RE: what do u think?

This is a tricky one. To me this is completely dependant on your opponent. If he plays alot of hands and bets alot I would call. If he has sat there waiting like a typical TAG then I would have to fold.

RE: what do u think?

standard fold imo. no point in risking all ur money at the table with 2 weak pair unless u know hes a crazed bluffer who is barrelling every street. even then its not an easy call cause what hands could he go in with on that board that u beat besides a stone bluff. easy fold gg nh shipaments to him gl

Its not money on the table. Its chips in an STT, big difference. On the river you are not beating much, so you need a good reason to call. Him being a maniac is the only reason I would call in that spot.

RE: what do u think?

his bet on the turn is a feeler bet, not a value bet. i doubt he had the flush, but your hand is still rather weak at this point. with your flat call on the turn, he feels he can push you out with that river Ace unless you have AK or the flush. you didn't raise pre so in his mind he is probably thinking he can push you off a high majority of the time.

in any case, i believe the hand could have been played differently where you could have taken it down. mind we ask, what stakes are you playing? kinda rare pots get this big during the first level (and looking at chip stacks probably the 2nd hand).
