Spoiler

I will add SB hand after comments are given ;)

My main question would be, is the river a good bluff spot?

Thoughts:
Pre-flop: ATo standard open
Post-flop: could have cbet the flop, but I don't expect many folds, so decided to check behind
Turn: Villain bets, nit decision for me would be to fold here, but I pick up an oesd and also expect my ace to be a live out, as well as my T in most cases, thus calling.
River: Villain checks. At this point I'm not putting him on Qx, but rather on a pocket pair or missed draw, which means I can get him to fold these hands by betting. Considering the sizing, I bet just half pot, a bet size I would also use when valuebetting in this spot. I want it to look like a valuebet (to a villain he thinks that way), betting bigger would make it more clearly to be a bluff in my opinion.

Would play same to river where I would just check for showdown value. If river was spade or maybe K I might try to bluff. On this river it's hard to get anything to fold that value bet turn.

SB ended up having pocket 55, a hand which I would fold to a bet on the river oop, maybe I'm the one being too tight in such a spot... (I consider it a hero call by him tbh)

Yeah 55 really should not be betting turn in first place. Loose call but mainly I meant some bit stronger hands like 8x+.

What do you expect villsins to flat?

Well I actually misread hand little bit. Thought it was BB calling. Its bit better to cbet versus SB as his range should rarely connect with 87 portion of flop.

I would assume villain to call cbet with any flopped pair and some TJ or better draw. 99 type also. Smallest pockets should fold though villain might 3bet or fold those more often. But yeah it's lot harder for SB range to connect. Bigger portion of range will be Qx though from calling range. But AT would be ok second barrel and something third barrel if we assume villain to be able to fold some of Qx.
