1-3NL TPTK facing an open push

Live 1-3. I couldn't remember any hands the villain had show before this hand other than seeing an expensive flop with ace rag suited where he chased an overpriced flush draw. He seems like a huge calling station and has won a few pots on the river with pushes that weren't called.

In this hand UTG raises to €12 he calls in second position. I make it €50 in MP with AQ. It's folded back to the villain and to my surprise he makes a quick call.

The flop comes A-K-2 with 2 diamonds. He open shoves for €160.

What does he have?

It doesnt matter what he has - based on what you said about his table image you call instantly. He is in the habit of pushing and not getting called. Time to change his habit.

Of course I'm calling. That was never the question. I just curious to know what people think he might have.

OP said he chases draws and pushes on the river and no one has called him.
He didn’t say he plays his draws aggressively.

I think if he had a flush draw he may have check/raised all in or check/called based on OP’s description which suggests he plays draws passively.
I don’t think he is on a flush draw.

I dont think he is on a flushdraw either. I dont expect to see AA, KK, AK.... I would not be surprised to see A2, K2 or 22 but I think Ax, Kx is likely as is any combo of 10/J/Q.

Why does this surprise you?

lol. I guess postflop it would never surprise me to see this player happily go as far as the river before feeling like he has a decision to make, but seeing him cold call €12, then immediately cold call €50 is a little strange even for this player.

Medium pair.With one diamond.

He had pocket Kings. He said he didn't go all in preflop because he thought I had Aces. Go figure.
