Is this too thin a river call?

Hand was on Bovada in a small stakes MTT.

You guys calling river here? 23 hands on villain and they have called PF 2bet 6/10 times and have not 3bet once yet. I felt that vs. a BB defend theres enough 9x and Tx in v’s lead range to make it a call.

i think your call is fine considering the pot odds if the bet was bigger then its an easy fold in my opinion

Thx. I think that if we got into a similar spot again vs this same villain after seeing this showdown that we should explotiatively bluffcatch vs. a bigger bet given that villain played 77 this way, but in this hand I was not giving villain hands like 77 as played.

First i would make the PF raise biger. make it like 2,2bb or 2,5BB
I like your call on the turn. most of the time donkbets are not a sighn of strenght. he could have a weack Kx. 9x, low pockets, flushdraws or somme sort of inside straightdraw.
When he checks to you on the turn hes basicly giving up. No meryt of raising behind. We don't want to get checkraised. maybe he will call of a small bet with a good heart hand. or a medium pocket. but its thin value. the risk is too big.
On the river I think I'm always calling. like you say. Tx, 9x nd medium pockets is the largest part of his range
