ZOOM 100- fold nuts to a raise when draws are busto? :(

BN: $249.84
SB: $107.22
BB: $100.75
UTG: $316.03
HJ: $217.47 (Hero)
CO: $44.88
Villain is unk. I have never seen him on zoom so far. He was playing 2 tables in that moment. He runs 27/18 after 100 hands.
Preflop ($1.50) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt 5 5
UTG folds, Hero raises to $3, CO folds, BN folds, SB folds, BB calls $2
Flop ($6.50) A 5 T (2 Players)
BB checks, Hero bets $4.50, BB calls $4.50
So far he has folded 0/3 to cbet. He seems more passive than not.
Turn ($15.50) A 5 T 7 (2 Players)
BB checks, Hero bets $14, BB calls $14
River ($43.50) A 5 T 7 K (2 Players)
BB checks, Hero bets $36.50, BB raises to $79.25, and is all in
We've got 42 left and got to be good 20% of the time.

Obviously the only value combos he's shipping here are QJdd, QJhh. I think it's possible he has QJdd because it's a nice reversed float. I have never ever seen a bluff in a spot like this because a) all draws are busto b) he's repping so little. Should I be calling my set or make an exploitative fold?

I'd call. Both flush draws missed, neither of which we block. AA/KK/TT likely 3-bet pre. 77 probably check-raises turn. And it's unlikely villain called two-barrels with just a naked QJ gutter. He could also CRAI with worse, such as AT/KT or some silly slowplayed AK.

BB flatting range consists of nearly every combo of suited hands from Q2-QJs, K2-KJs, A2-A9s, not to mention all of the suited 1 and 2 gappers that hit this board as well.

So yeah, his bluffing range can potentially be huge on this river and given the great pot odds we're getting I'm snapping.

Ehh, I generally don't fold when the nuts are less likely than top set (3 combos). If he never bluffs and we call, we lose a $1.20 (3% loss * $40).  If he always bluffs and we fold, we lose $77.6 (97% loss *(43.50+36.50)). 

Another way to think of this, if he bluffs 75 out of 10000 times, we need to call.

I also dont fold here, but why we loose 1.20$, when he never bluffs here and never valueshoves less with our call compared to folding?

Imo we loose then just exactly 42.75$ or do I miss something?

ah you made the math for EV-call before betting the river.

But imo you have to make it after facing the C/R (post betting the river) and compare it to EV_Fold which is then 0 (when we consider the point, after we betted OTR).


Again,

obv. Im not folding here, but just wondering bout your math-approach in this spot.

Yeah, EV of (CallCR) compared to EV(Fold) is the right way. However if we know nothing about his raising frequencies we can't use the method. We do know what most river distributions look like, so we can figure out the possible values for EV(FOLD) which generally are between -$77.60 (always bluff) and +$1.20 (never bluff). Using this method, it's obvious that folding is either slightly correct or horrendously wrong.
