think i'd check, you're not going to get 3 streets against mid pairs and b/c/b is more likely to get paid off than b/b

tread carefully though...

Check and call if he bets with the intention of basically always check/folding the river because he's got pretty much zero pure bluffs in his range and all of his hands worse than three kings, a good ace, or a boat are checking back with their showdown value.

If he checks back I'd assume he has a mid pair of some kind often and size my river bet by what I thought he'd pay off with that type of hand, which often ends up not being too big on a board of this texture.

agree with bond, but i'm folding turn vs that bet sizing, i don't think he's betting worse for that many chips very often at all.
