Results:

Spoiler

$41.62 pot ($1.87 rake)
Final Board: A T 7 8 3
Hero showed 8 A and won $39.75 ($18.99 net)
BB showed Q 5 and lost (-$20.76 net)

Since he c/r so small on the flop I think we have to call. My thought was to call T and then fold R if he barrels.

T is good card. I don't think he c/r flop with J9. He might have some FD or some AK/AQ/AJ. I decide to r him and call off a shove. I think I should r more - $7,50.

R is one of the best cards. We should fold if T, 7, comes. What about K/Q/J and FD?

Hi,

You get river very good pot odds and you´re playing against unknown. I may consider folding on flushdraws, since that would make most sense and call him down at any other river cards.
Most if the times I would not expect him to shove river, I would check back on Tx and sometimes flushdraw and would shove all the other cards, since he often has there just Ax hands

best regards,
