Looks good.

I mean, he's repping only JT (not even clubs), and I think I'd get stacked the first time and make a note for another time.

If we were playing PLO I'd fold .

meh, i couldnt fold this. really bizarre line. I'd be interested in results actually. 56 would be my guess.

I'm not worried about JT, I'm more worried about a 6 or pocket 7's. Tough one, and even though with a good read this is a fold, without one there are too many excuses available that make this a call.

I 3-bet this pre. Is that bad?

I sometimes do that. But I've started floating people a lot so when the flop comes a certain way I call the flop and bet the turn if checked to.

Mixing it up between calling and raising pre is what I do, and I definitely call the river unless I have a very good read.

Ditto.

A6 maybe? I'd still go broke and not feel too bad about it.

What's villain's range that we beat here? Including vb's and bluffs?

this is key

Exactly what his range is here and what he's thinking is unknown since you don't have a read on him and it is a blinds battle.
I don't think he would do this with two pair hands very much. Your turn raise basically says to him that you have a good made hand and his weak lead then call line says I am drawing. However, he might have a weak draw and have decided that he will bluff a bad river card of which there are many. Because you have to think he is drawing, it is a good card for him to bluff. I def think 66 and 77 should be in his range on the river, but there are a lot of weak hands that he should be bluffing there as well as hands with a 6 and of course JcTc.
It is so close in my mind that I would fold some of the time and call some of the time, maybe 50:50 and be fine with the decision either way.
A rr to 18 or 20 pf would have made all this much easier.

I actually folded on the river.

I'm sure his hand was a draw by the river because on the turn he shoves all-in w/ > 1 pair since he wouldn't block-bet/call turn just to open shove 4 to a straight river card. His flop play was very odd by c/c and by the river it really seemed like his hand was JT because 96 or 86 is never getting to the river like that (turn bet/call). Also, on the flop JT isn't an amazing hand w/ that FD out there. I can't imagine him c/c a combo draw on that flop.

Also, does he really play a FD that passively then go crazy on the river with a big bluff? Also, he can't expect someone to fold a great hand to a shove on that river as it looks like a bluff. Maybe I'm totally out there but bottom set just doesn't seem too great based on his play. I can't think of many hands I'm ahead of.

Looks good to me. If he somehow rivered you, then he's the fish.
