1. Is this call/fold?
2. Do we jam always when he checks the river?

1. Call. He could have some weird JT8x hand or naked clubs that missed totally, and you need to be right only ~18% of the time.
2. Check back. He wont call you with anything worse. He might also have a scared 23xx which you can save $20 from.

Ugh. On the table I shrug/call, but I don't know if we're good the required amount of the time. Also, if BB was on the passive side I think flatting the turn would have been better than raising, since it's hard to put villain on a bluff here. But seeing as villain is aggressive, I think rivers would be difficult to play and he shows up with dominated draws a bunch of the time or hands that would fold at some point, so raising is probably better.

If he checked the river I'm never betting. Sometimes he'll have a missed draw plus weak two pairs that he'll find a fold with, but I think it doesn't make up for all the times he has two pairs+ and calls.
