reads/stats would help a ton here...

I think turn call is fine with our 2nd NF redraw. Readless I'm folding river without much thought.

It was ~5th hand at the table, so no stats/reads at that moment.

Without reads or stats this is fairly difficult. On the flop is he the sort of player who would raise as a bluff ehre knowing it is hard to you to continue? There isn't a lot of real hands he could have really on this board when he raises you; 33, 77, weaker aces and flush draws, maybe a middle pocket pair he thinks is good. If we 3b flop he is going to fold all his bluffs and shove or call when we are beat. If I take your line here where we check turn, I will probably check shove the turn.

As played, I think I have to fold the river as we are only beating weaker aces and a bluff, calling a smaller value bet could be okay, but I can't see us being ahead vs an unknown here ever, even if it is blind vs blind.

If the river is a queen, I might call, but wouldn't be happy about it. If it is an ace I call.

Only question I have is how often you check shove turn with top pair. I am trying to see the value in it. I just feel we get snapped a ton and are exploitable taking this line.

Yeah, I was thinking aloud what I would do if I took OP's line here. In hiensight I think it would be bad as we wont get value from worse, not going to get a set, 2 pair or a flush to fold, even if they think there is a chance we have a flush they'll still be calling there. I just dont like calling and folding the river in spots like this.
