Hey there,
This hand was played against a 57/6 fish over ~60 hands. The fish was passive on flop and turn with very low fold to c-bet(<30) and was very aggressive on the river. His river AF was 7 and had 60-70 river AFq.

I think we all agree I bet turn too little and should do it 9€ instead. Also flop bet could be bigger.
However, the real question is about the river with less than potsize left in the stack. Ultimately we have a bluff catcher and against a fish who likes picking up pots on the river I decided to play straight forward and c/c. My problem though is, how often are fish really going to try and pick up a pot when their stacks are at risk and the board gets very ugly? From experience all-ins on the river are very seldom bluffs or overplays.
With the SPR I think block bet is just a waste of money against this opponent, but please some thoughts on this?
Another question is what about a shove on the river for value? This opponent is clearly very bad and that could be possible as well.
So, all in all, I think c/f, c/c and shove are all about close EV wise and I could really use some perspective here.
Furthermore, a friend of mine suggested overbet shove on the turn. Would you consider that a viable option?
Thanks,
