Start of the match so no reads. Would you call?

Pros:
-I block T9
-AJ would 3bet shove pre
-Villain likely would probe TP+ OTT, so trips is almost the only value hand he can have
-The two queens on the board makes it less likely he has one.

Cons:
-I block the FD,
-I don't really want to bluff-catch vs recs readless. He might have no clue and could still be taking this line with Kx or Jx, although his sizing makes this unlikely

This is one thing that I never understood as argument for facing single river bets, without any action before that. You are not the only one using that justification, so genuinely curious do people expect villain to barrel his draws expecting the ocean card? Not to mention that even if there was an ocean card, blocking flush draw with an actual pair on the board doesn't matter at all.

Joking aside, this is a fold readless.
