Hi,

so this hand is from 11$ bounty tournament. I calls to a multiway pot with JTs, which is ok. Got a top pair and I try to bet, could have the best hand. Got one call. Turn is drawy card and I would like to play smaller pot so I check back. Overcard on the river is not great and I get surprisingly donk pot all-in bet. I feel like why would he bet so much? If he wants value he should bet smaller. So it feels really bluffy to me. I really wanted to fold that hand and I know I probably should but more I thought about it I persuaded myself to call. Because his action did not really make too much sense to me. I felt like he probably doesn't have queen, queen should not really help his draws much, he could have maybe KT of clubs. He definitely could miss club flush draw. So, after all, I feel like he can have trips or straight and many bluffs because I showed weakness. But you can see below what he had. Would you call? Or is it just easy fold for you?

His shove is indeed weird, but a fishy move and I expect you are to often beaten to make a call here. He needs to over play a weaker J and he could have some straight combo's in his range as well.
