Hi, is it ok to make the crying call on the river?

PokerStars - $0.05 PL Hi FAST (6 max) - Omaha Hi - 6 players

Hero (BTN): 100 BB
SB: 180.8 BB
BB: 101 BB
UTG: 46.8 BB
MP: 139.2 BB
CO: 197.4 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has 9♠ J♣ 8♦ Q♠

UTG calls 1 BB, fold, CO calls 1 BB, Hero raises to 5.4 BB, fold, BB calls 4.4 BB, UTG calls 4.4 BB, fold

Flop: (17.6 BB, 3 players) 9♦ T♠ 8♠
BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets 8.6 BB, BB calls 8.6 BB, fold

Turn: (34.8 BB, 2 players) 3♦
BB checks, Hero bets 33.4 BB, BB calls 33.4 BB

What a terrible river
With a stack-to-pot ratio of less than 1, you have these choices:
:diamond:  Fold: lose half your stack with no chance of return
:diamond:  Call: risk the other half with a (slim) chance to get it all.

I really want to see what the experts say though...

Well we basically hope villain is turning either set or missed spade draw into bluff on river. Problem is that we are blocking both of those combos with our holding and it's also very brave kind of move from villain to make.

So imo we are usually better off folding.

Well, kind of a similar situation as in the other thread about facing river donk bet. :)

Although here it is VERY likely he has the fd, when he calls the turn pot.

Flop sizing is a bit weird, as the question is would you bet the same amount with the rest of your betting range? Really good habit to learn is to use same sizing on boards with your whole range (as a default), based on the texture.
