Call or fold the river?
What is the best line here?
BBvsBU 3bet pot
If the villain would be known as loving bluffs that would be easy call, this time - had not any notes, so made a call on the last seconds.

As played hard to fold. That turn isn't supposed to be checked, but why not, that might totally induce something stupid like this x)
But when you do, you don't wonder if you have a call on the river.
If I make another bet OTT what hands are calling? AJ, AT? Maybe, but some of them folding as well, and of course some suited A with flush draw, the other hands beat me, AQ, KQ, QJ. I dont think I would get a call from pockets <JJ. Not sure betting or checking is better, when people are so crazy with their bluffs 
Maybe worse hands are calling, maybe they aren't, but the point is you are pressuring them and thus accomplishing something. And you aren't letting PP, GS and BFD go away with a free card that easily.
He shouldn't have many Qx here anyway. But I do agree with the fact that a check is probably gonna trigger many bluffs. That's why I said as played you don't really have a decision in the end. Bluffcatch and live with it knowing there should be way enough bluffs for the occasional Qx you'll run into.
It's a tough call because hands like 88 shouldn't be floating the flop imo. And worse Ax have no reason to turn into a bluff. So your looking at some combos of TJs KJs to pick off as bluffs. And I guess the occasional weird spazz like this. The turn check sets life up to be difficult though.
Yeah versus a good player you have to second barrel but a bad player will bet Ax, spazz with 88 or whatever. Poker not dead lol.

Once we check the turn would we expect a good player to bet worse Ax ? i expect it from hands like AJ i don't really expect 88 in the floating range though. If were not checking AK then AJ should probably bet the turn.
I wouldn't expect most good players to fall into this trap with a hand like AJ, that's why it's better to keep up betting versus those rare wild beasts.
They shouldn't expect to have much value whatsoever, we are representing a mix of strong trap and weak give up. They should at least check back on the turn and reevaluate on the river.
