Hi guys.
Very very late night (morning) poker game in local casino, most players tired/ drunk too, 6handed with loose passive fish. Eff stacks at table over 200.
Me and V in this hand eff stacks are 330.

Im MP with T9 and open to 7. (Indeed quite a loose open) game was being played very loose and i was being able to control well hands post flop so tought i could go ahead with this hand and get paid quite a lot when hitting.

I get called in 3 spots one of them is the V OTB with a stack that covers me. He is the most decent player at the table, being able to take good decisions, thinking well about his hands and is very solid. Looks experienced but in general a honest guy, speaking about his hands always had it when on showdown and that was quite a few times. Hes over 40s white guy. We both been at this table for an hour.

Pot 28
Flop is JT7
SB checks and I lead for 15 getting called only by the V

Pot 58
Turn is K
I lead again for 40, V thinks a little while and raises to 90. I tought this card could help his range giving draws or better pairs but had ok odds to draw for the flush so I called the extra 50(??)
Thing is its a min raise. Looks like he's not too worried about giving us good odds and is giving us good price. Should we think its a set here alot? Thing is he could only really have 77...what range we put V on on this?

Pot 240 (we have a potsized bet behind)
River 4
I gave up and checked this time. Imo no point on trying to bluff river after his turn raise. He thinks again for a bit and shoves.

Question, apart from the turn bet/call and his range, is are we ever good here to bluff catch? Resuming we are getting 2 to 1. Dont know if thats good enough for his range. Toughts?

Thanks in advance

Why are you even considering bluff catching when you have the spades? Insta fold. Even if you didn't block spades, this is still a fold. Flop is okay to c-bet or check. Turn is an easy check. He isn't folding anything he called with OTF, and you aren't really getting value from worse.

Turn is a bad card for you as it hits; his over card floats, his AQ overcard+gutshot, his Q9 OESD, his KT. You hit an 8 on river you risk losing your stack to his bigger straights. V may raise turn with KsXs so your flush may be no good on river.

Check the turn and see what V does.

I'm a little surprised by the disgust at the bet. Although I do agree that it hits a lot of possible hands for him, as the PFR, I think it is more in the hero's range than the villain's range. I think the turn is a good spot for a semi-bluff.

If we're checking behind on the K, what possible card is good for us on the turn to continue betting besides those that complete our draws? I'm more likely to check behind when 2c comes than the Kc here, as the board texture does not change at all and I can't see many hands that he folds on the turn after calling on the flop, unless you bomb the turn for 3/4 PSB and he had AsXs.

The river is a no question insta-fold. In no universe are you good here unless has exactly AsXs and completely spazzed out on the turn.

I'm never calling river. Ever. But I don't agree with needing to bet the turn either. Ya it hits our range, but we have enough equity to check back and reevaluate on the river. We don't need to turn our hand into a bluff on the turn. I'd be more inclined to barrel if we had 9Thh or offsuit. I'd rather not get blown off our hand on the turn or have to bloat the pot when we get raised like this.
