Am I making a crying call against an unknown or folding the river?

I fold preflop. The river is an easy call.

I would call. He's going to valuetown you a ton here but also show up with some ******ed hands too probably.

I call to see if he bluffs or not.
Most common outcome: he value-towned me.

call on the river. and I might fold preflop. A9s would be better to 3bet, but then again this is an unknown, so I prefer to tighten my standards.

The river call I'd make almost all the time. The preflop play is the more interesting part to me. There was a time I'd 3 bet A-9o a lot in that spot. These days I'm folidng it in that situation.
