this has all the signs of a 5... is this a call push or fold?

Actually, it has all the signs of AK, KK and maybe KQ. As played, I fold the river.
Personally, I would've checked behind on the turn. You're either miles ahead or miles behind, but impossible to tell which it is. There is really no river card that reduces the strength of your hand, so check and make a likely smaller bluff-catcher call on the river.

I would have checked the turn. I think you should make your mind up on the turn your action on the river here. If you are going to call the turn reraise, you should be willing to call a river bet. If you think you are beat on the turn, then just fold it there...
You might be against a hand like KT here, which would be great for you. He might have a 5, but thats a pretty loose preflop player to call with any hand that has a 5.
Honeslty, when I play aces I'm looking for a flop like this - when I'm beat, I'm just going to try to lose the minimum. I mean unless he has KK, or 55, it doesn't make sense for him to have you beat. If he has those, I'm willing to call here and see the bad news.

checking the turn was going through my mind... I actually wanted to but villian is agressive and I didn't want to be facing a pot sized bet on river... those were just my excuses for being greedy... I only bet cause i wanted to stack him...
PT reads on villian 25/9/1.5/18%WTSD

i say call as it is
but agree with AH that its turn where u decide what to do ,
u cant call turn and then fold on river that is just too weak, specially on a river card like this which is basicly no help.
