Call. If he thinks you are stealing alot he could have a ton of combo draws here and you're also ahead of KJ.

You really only fear QTspades, 55(you block this) and AJ(would he raise this pf?)

How has he been losing all his BIs (spew vs standard)? What position is he in (i.e. in early position he can have AA/KK whereas in LP this is much less likely)? Can he get aggro with draws (a lot of typical opponents don't)?

In general, a check/raise shove on a big street typically means TP can be beat, and our hand doesn't beat all that many hands that can beat TP (realistically only KJ unless he's super loose). But also really depends on answers to questions above.

But the winners must be showing hands that beat him; are the winners showing monsters (and maybe he's being coolered with second monsters) or are the winners simply showing one pair (which he can't beat)? And is he being the aggressor in pots he doesn't win (like in this hand), or just passively calling it off and losing?

These are things you should try to be paying attention to in order to help you solidify your reads.
