Curious to know what others would do in this situation and why..I took a line i like and wondering what others would do and why

Preflop:
The Big Blind raises x2 BBs, UTG calls, Hero calls with A9K4♠7, MP calls, BTN folds, SB calls.

Flop: 9.5 BB
725
Big Blind min bets, UTG calls, Hero calls, MP folds, SB folds.

Turn: 18 BB
K♠
Big Blind min bets 2BB, Hero pots 26 BB, UTG folds, Big Blind calls.
(Note: I like my hand with top 2 pair, and 2nd nut low but i want to turn this into a HU pot. Mission accomplished.

River: 137.5 BB
8♠
Hero ?

Spoiler:
Hero bets pot all in 70.5 BB, big blind calls with 2♠ 6 t 8 Q.
Hero wins 151BB.

I figured with that much in play, if i bet pot and get a fold thats awesome, if i get called well i have top and middle pair, and the 2nd nut low....I'll risk 70.5BB to win the pot at its current state. So a bit of a semi bluff, but i could also be good in 1 of 2 situations, that being either the low or hi....now as played i didnt think he was that bad of a player but im more wondering if i was correct in my thought on the river shove. Im bad a calculating pot odds and math in general so i usually just approximate but thats why im wondering if this is a profitable play...say at higher limits against better players...maybe it was too ambitious? I knew i was doing pretty good on the turn and thats why i wanted to get heads up so after a brick on the river i was going to check but went for the semi bluff so i can either at best win half the pot or after some prayer get a fold and fist pump...(i dont know if ill win half for the high or half for the low but i was pretty sure i wouldnt lose the entire pot AS PLAYED...if there was a lot more action on the flop or turn i would assume im beat of course...

ps to my spoiler:
when i mean ithe river bricked i kinda meant a semi brick..i mean no flushes got there and i was not TOO worried about straights as played ...ie he didnt want to bloat the pot with a straight draw...)

Everyone limps preflop and the BB min raises?
Is it playmoney?

- fold preflop
- play on other streets are fine

not play money..i probably copied and pasted something wrong preflop....i closed the hand history will check what happened later..

it was a min raise though so it was pretty cheap to see the flop i know that.

Pretty ugly hand history. Hard to follow but if the action is what i think it is im folding pre

Flop also cant really follow and my brain doesnt want to try work it out, think im folding tho only 1 club in hand and only 2nd nut low

Tough beat for BB after nailing GTO on every street

BB is a very, very, very special player. Focus your attention on developing accurate reads on him.

People telling you to fold pre in this lineup don't win as much as they could.

I can understand why people would want to fold this in 5-card PLO...but short handed gets really weird sometime lol

and since lots of people limp (in this case min rase), it becomes real cheap to see a flop.
