UTG is a fish i've known for a while hes 54/20 around 37% agg% and goes to showdown often. reason for not folding as i probably should is ive seen him do this to scare people away. rep a strong hand more often than he actually had a strong hand. Like vs another fish he did this with 9 high after looking in my db, vs a reg J high also. I also dont think the board is all that scary on the turn. 9 is a bit annoying but ive seen several people do this with even flush draws and gut shots and 1 card backdoor something something.

to loose of me ?

If you see him x/ring with air in such spots its a clear calldown. If he bluffs with draws only its more debatable, as the nine could have helped his range, but you need a larger samplesize to justify folding. His flop x/r-ing range might be also worth looking at.

He did x/r the turn or is it me who hallucinates that ? The flop x/r range was mentioned because by knowing that you might be able to narrow his turn range down.

I check behind on turn and call river - especially vs fish. It saves two bets when you lose and gains one bet extra when they have air (They will bluff river 110% when induced because the board is paired). You lose a little value vs worse A with this line, but they are often bad enough to bluff with them too OTR. The pot is so small that "protection" is no issue.

Also, from a balanced perspective, you need some strength in the turn check-behind range.
