Best hand you ever laid down?

    I play at AC a lot, and theres this old guy who plays there, is a jerk to everyone, and is known to only play AA, KK, or AK if the pot is raised preflop.  that is not a generalization, he literally only plays those hands after a raise.  were doin 2/5 NL, i have about 850 in front of me hes got about 700.  I make it 20 preflop with 88, he calls.  OK, i know what he has.  flop comes out 88A.  Yup, I flopped quads.  He bets 25, I call.  turn comes, Ace.  I think he may have aces full, so i check to him.  he indeed bets 75.  I reraise him 100 on top and he calls.  If he had KK, he no doubt would have folded here, as he is ridiculously cautious.  River comes, A.  I bet 100, he goes all in. 

I sit there for a minute.  I have committed 320 to the pot.  If I fold, i am still up over 300, not a bad pay day for a college kid.  If I call, I am either up a shitload or im broke for the day.  this guy literally never fucking bluffs, as in ever.  not, oh hes done it 2 times in the last year, but as in NEVER.  I fold.

The guy says he won't show, because he is a real dickface.  I turn my 4 8s over to show him what i laid down, and say, just show me the ace so i dont go kill myself.  the guy looks at me like he can't believe what he has just seen.  he then says "only because a. i have never seen a hand like that in my life and b. i have never seen someone lay down quads...."  he flips over AK


good fold by me, but wtf, that turn and river killed me

i could be all pissed off about it, but i figure i could play my entire life and never see that again. 

what is the best hand you guys have laid down?

Question:  If he went all-in on the river with the 2 pairs on the board, would you have called him, knowing he might have pocket aces?

Question:  If he went all-in on the turn with the 2 pairs on the board, would you have called him, knowing he might have pocket aces?

Question:  If he went all-in on the turn with the 2 aces on the board, would you have called him, knowing he might have pocket aces?
