No history on villian... My assumption is villian flops 2pair /set as he plays the hand very agg. Is this a standard river fold?...

Fold the flop, you don't have implied odds if you make your flush and villains value range of flushes and sets has you pretty crushed anyways. If you can't fold the flop then fold the turn, if you can't fold the turn then yes, fold the river.

Is there ever a chance he's getting frisky with a worse flush draw?

Not really, and actually having the Ac really lessens the chance of him getting frisky.

Kinda like a x/c on the flop actually. Exactly because don't wanna b/f with so much equity or b/c with too little equity. Not to mention A-high has SDV.

That said, is an average Villain really capable of playing 2pair/set so aggressively all the way to the river on a monotone board? I'm leaning towards putting him only on a flush or nothing, which makes this as good a bluffcatcher as many stronger hands.

I need confirmation of actual regs on this, but I think monotone boards are usually underbluffed in these stakes, so river's still a fold probably.

I guess all of the villians hands are in his c range which makes it harder to pinpoint. However, your assessment of the hand has made me think far more, many thanks.
