blinds 4k/8k/ 500
currently chip leader on table, about 20 left 11 paid

CO (hero) raises Q

to 16k
BB Calls 16k
villain has 700kish, we cover vill. Around 50's but seems to be playing ok

Flop Q

BB leads for 25k, hero calls

Turn 4

bb leads for 36k , hero raises to 90k , bb calls quickly

River 4

bb leads for 106k, hero?

Expected vill to be on a draw on the turn alot of the time, and was planning on checking all rivers. Felt like if we flat turn , vill can play perfectly v us on all rivers.
Buttt then he leads riv on a brick, thoughts?

I would say call because you counterfit some of his 2 pairs, all the straight draws/flush draws missed on the turn.

He may very well be raising you on the turn with KJ/with or without flush draw, same goes for 79 with or without flush draw. and there are simply so many hands that missed. plus you counterfit his 9/10. and I think in the long run you will be good here.

He is polarising his range at J9 and there aren't that many of that, and too many draws missed: Call.

I probably raise to 20k pre-flop.

BB's 25k leadout seems large. And the turn bet seems smallish. So I see why you want to raise because it looks like a semi-bluff. But it could also be an attempt at value. And this is an $80 tourney so it could just be random bet sizing.

I wouldn't have raised the turn (I would want to get to SD cheap). And then I would call the smallish river bet.

As is, the river bet is small and looks like value. I probably fold here. If possible I would base the decision on reads or past betting patterns if any. It could be T8. Or Qx Spades. And it could be a sad attempt at a 3 barrel bluff.

He can also have a boat here.

I think this spot is very V dependant. Besides "he was playing ok" did you pick up on any other reads? Did he like to donk bet a lot? When he did donkbet was it usually with a draw or with a made hand?

Turn looks very thin.

Just call down in this spot.
