Villain is 41/29 3bet 20% Postflop Aggr% 50 in 17 hands

I would have folded against a passive player for sure, but this seems aggressive and River miss 2 possible FDs and the biggers Straight Draws

Is ok the bluff catching here?

He check called two streets (including your raise on the T) and then led out.

If he is bluffing then good for him. I give him credit for a hand better than top two almost always at these limits. I've called in this spot way too often only to be up against the nuts or second nuts more often than it seems profitable to call.

This is literally never a bluff and he literally always has J9xx. Welcome to the micros, enjoy your stay.

And by literally I mean figuratively because it's more like 95% of the time.

In retrospective, against an aggresive villain this is very close donesn't it?

We are blocking a 9 needed for both the straights, and we are not blocking almost any flush card.

Against a passive/unknow is more an easy fold here I am agree in that.

I feel there is no need to raise the turn cause so so so many cards on the river you don't know what to do. If you could get your whole stack in on the turn it would probably be OK but you can't
