HU river spot where villain slows down when he shouldn't do it

BB: $51.60
SB: $137.70 (Hero)
Started match poorly, but haven't done any warm-up.
As match goes on - I am dominating...
Villain c-bets a lot and lightly calls my value bets (several times big VBs).
Preflop ($0.75) (2 Players)
Hero was dealt J 5 8 9
Hero raises to $1, BB raises to $3, Hero calls $2
Villain 3-bets A LOT OOP pre... My hand is not great, hope to flop 67 or T7....
Flop ($6.75) T 2 6 (2 Players)
BB bets $6, Hero calls $6
Have nut gutter, no FD, but vs this villain - I call. Otherwise - easy fold, easy one....
Turn ($18.75) T 2 6 4 (2 Players)
BB bets $12.50, Hero calls $12.50
2nd barrel, expected, probably air barreling. This player is fearless, doesn't think mutch, pressing buttons pretty quickly.
Again, I call.. I am not much better than him (when I play like this), but I do hope I know what I am doing here...
River ($43.75) T 2 6 4 6 (2 Players)
BB checks
Now he checks. Super non-standard move, pot is to big to trap me, his SPR is << 1, it's easy c-bet shove by him.
I am 100% convinced he has some poor hand here, non AA, KK, QQ, JJ.
Maybe he has T + busted diamond draw and that's probably his best...

Hero?

well. you said   ^Have nut gutter, no FD, but vs this villain - I call^     is where i think you have made big mistake nomatter who against you play , 

If you have annoying opponent that is light,  loose LAG fool of crap, that you take in account when you re playing your hand, but characteristics of your opponent shouldn't deter you from playing solid poker, and calling pot bet with a 3 clean outted gutter with hand that is beat even by Q high in PLO is simply not gonna be winning play, unless you of course have a plan such as xr that you think will work which doesnt seem likely as you mentioned previously that opponent is calling down very light, so basically you answered you river question with that comment

Why re you faced with any river decision is very big mistake imo

PS ~ No matter how bad our opponents are, sometimes we simply have total trash in hand,  and they sometimes have a hand ..being it excellent solid mediocre weakfsh, let him win his turn to win a hand that is inevitable even if he let his doggie play cards  :) , with as little loss  as possible..so fold on flop

Fold to his flop cbet. Like Aleksandra said you only have 3 clean outs. With him willing to call down lightly it doesn't seem like a good spot to float and take pot away on potential scare cards.

As played I would not bet the river.

Out of curiousity, why do folks think villain stops betting on the river?  Iofigr thinks that it's to "trap" a PSB--but that doesn't seem consistent with my experience with this kind of LAG player.  I wouldn't expect that kind of player to check this river with a strong hand unless we were much deeper-stacked. 

So--is the villain planning to check/fold?  Check-call with an overpair?  I know it doesn't really matter--checking behind is almost certainly the right river play for us--but I'm curious as to how you guys think villain thinks...

ty all

 should have given up from this hand, but it's not that simple.... not at all...

I read him very well... not as I would like cause I know what strength he has almost always, but don't know whether he calls with mediocre/weak/poor hand ...

I want to challenge myself, that's why I sometimes play so badly hands like this one.

I am IP also and therefore I could afford myself  "little bit more loose" i.e. bad play from time to time - I am big stack guy btw.

I did what I thought it was best move on river and that was pretty cold move -  pot bet.

you know what happened?

he called with J997r. He won with pair of nines!

btw, I won all biggest pots from this hand onwards and I won ~$185 from him in ~30min - on these stakes...

If I did not play this hand as I played, when he has money - I win even more....

He is "calling station" from another thread from today - I go there now....

regards
