MPN anon NL100, facing c/shove OTR

Hello, everyone.

CO unknown reg 100bb
SB loose fish on the passive side 145bb
BB Hero 145bb KTo

Preflop

EP, MP fold, CO raise 3bb, BU fold, SB call, Hero call

Flop J 9 7 rainbow, pot 9bb

SB check, Hero check, CO check

Turn Qr, pot 9bb

SB bet 4.5bb, Hero raise to 19.5bb, CO fold, SB call

River 9, pot 48bb

SB check, Hero bet 36bb, SB goes all-in for 122,5bb, Hero ?

So, ugly river spot. From my experience that's either boat+ or some random spew with hand like Q8o, but I doubt frequency of spews is sufficient to justify a call. For me those spots are very taxing on my mental stamina and would appreciate any advice on how to deal with it.

Usually I make a call and would consider folding nutstraight a mistake against a weaker opponent, but is that false thinking? Ultimately straight on this board that deep is a bluffcatcher and I wonder if villain will bluff often enough?

I would also appreciate sizing advice, especially on the river. I think betting big against a weaker player is a must. Should I go even bigger on the river?

Thanks for feedback.

Cheers!

Is he fishy enough to play T9s this way?

In a vacuum I think I'll fold River, his line seems very strong.
On the other hand of I saw him making those spewy bluffs with missed draws before I'll be happy to call.
Really depends about the reads you have on him imo

Most anon fish are very fishy, but usually on the passive side.

Hand like T9 is not out of the question, but I think most fish will just call river with it.

I haven't seen any viable showdown against this player. ...when villain mucks hand on anon you can't see what he had. So, it's a pretty much a vacuum decision.

I think that you should just be bet-folding the river here. If the river had paired the top card, I think that this would be a tougher decision because then the SB could have trips that they're overvaluing (only when it's a rec). In this case, the SB is unlikely to bet/call the turn with third pair unless it was a hand like 109 and even then they have to be aggressive enough to go for value by check raising all in on the river. It also doesn't seem like a spot where a recreational player is going to look to bluff raise you when you've shown nothing but strength so far.

As far as river sizing, you can probably go a little bigger here and then feel pretty comfortable folding when you get jammed on but also getting max value from worse hands.
