Is this ever a bluff

Over the last few weeks i have got stuck in this situation a few times. In this hand once he calls on the flop i put him on a possible flush draw, maybe weaker aces like AJ or A10. I didnt really give him credit for a set mainly because he would have raised the turned as i was repping an Ax hand. His shove on the river to me screamed of strength. If he did put me on a big ace then my thinking was it had to be a value bet or a great bluff. What would be the ideal play here call or fold.

    Rarely a good bluff spot with so many strong hands that can call.

    i think its a fold, you're not beating a lot here.

    I very much doubt he's doing this with AJ/A10

    RTC is a very good reg player on 10/20 he isnt bluffing here

    The way the betting went i would say he hit his set then river house.

    Having played him he trys to trap so imo he will flat his set rather than raise on the flop.

    AQ is a good hand here but so many hands beating you after the river so good fold imo.
