    you didn't shove the river, you shoved the turn.

    Not wrong though just unlucky he hit the set.

    Nothing wrong with this just unlucky. It was all going in anyway. For what it's worth he's not getting the correct implied odds to call your 3-bet in my oppinion. Your 3-bet is well sized and there's nothing scary on the flop or the turn to make you worry. Ship it in is fine. If you check and he ships you are still calling. He doesn't even have a pot bet behind

    I don't like it. Pot was £6, you shoved for a further £20 with just one pair...why?

    If you thought he might be chasing a flush or straight draw, bet bigger on the flop - 3/4 pot.

    Secondly, it;s one of those situations where you'll only get called by better and worse won't call, so why bet such a large amount? If you think he had QJ or AJ and wanted value, bet an amount he will pay off.

    By turn, a few hands could have been beating you... obviously a set, but KJ, which seems wholly possible given action on flop, would have made 2 pairs and beaten you.

    AA is the best hand pre flop, but one pair is only of moderate strength as a hand, so don't lose your stack over it.

    He's only shoving 5 into 6 effectively with the other guys stack. 

    I think it's fine.

    Yeah but why risk the stack when you aren't blocking a draw and you will only get called by better? There is no value in it but far greater risk.

    Edit: I know what you mean about the caller's stack size, but I don't see why someone with AJ, for example, would call off the bet even if it was just "pot" sized. I suppose going broke a few more times with AA etc to 2 pair or sets will make him as cynical and crusty as me :D

    You should have played this passively as is the way at 8NL. Flat call preflop, check-check flop, check-check turn, check-fold river as villian shoves.. it would be apparent at this point he has hit something better than a pair. You could have got away losing the mininmum.
