Don't we have a pretty easy call if he will blast the river with a wide range? We're assuming he's 3betting us very wide and you think he will try to barrel you off your hand because you're scared money. If that's the case, shouldn't you catch his bluffs instead of letting him know you have a good hand?

Also keep in mind there are a lot of rivers that change the board dramatically that should benefit your range so he can't just bet/bet/bet with reckless abandon.
He is not bluffing river 100% of the times. But he is capable of doing with Jx in his hand. I think he is also getting value from some 2 pairs (QT, Q9, T9 not sure) and all the sets. AA, KK, AQ is checking back ( but I dont see him in his range for the big bet on the turn, he will likely check back those hands). Is he bluffing flush draws that brick? Not sure but its likely
Not sure, maybe is scared money? But I dont feel like calling a shove on the river with top pair against this opponent knowing he will probably do it a large percentage of the time in this situation. He is not a maniac, he is a very good LAG player but he can balance his range really good in this spot knowing I will very probably overfold the river
