So villain had been very laggy so far in 3 handed. Not huge amount of 3bets but had been barrel happy postflop. One player left moment ago and it became HU.

Pre and flop are standard. Turn I could have also potted but I dont mind 3/4 pot either. How to play river? I personally feel like check is bit too conservative option but GTO wise it might make sense as we dont have any boat blockers? That said I doubt villain necessarily protects his check range that much with flopped strong made hands. Like trying to go for x-r. So I was not that worried of being beat and with two busted fd and some QJ missing I feel like overpairs are very sticky here.

But when he does x-shove he obviously reps boats. If I think this from my range view between call or fold:

Call:
- My range with flop check, turn bet have very few boats. Classical top of my range argument
- I dont block high fd hands.
- Price I get is pretty good. 25 for pot of 95 so we need to be good less than 30% of time

Fold:
- I dont block boats
- This is pretty ballsy spot to bluff imo and generel opponent on these limits are likely underbluffing

Outside of flop slowplays boat combos would be like 77, 97.

in GTO you need to fold without blocking pairs. if you have reads that he can not have checked any good made hand OTF question is what is he x/calling OTT? If you are sure about your read and he is just attacking patterns here obv you need to call river. the good odds justify that.

I see the problem and personally have a too high call river efficiency and as I said multiple times redline might be the difference of winner and breakeven on your stakes so a calldown here even without blockers just by reads could be justified, even without blocker

A lot of going on in here. HU pots are really hard to review by outsiders, as HU is so much about playing the opponent. There are good arguments for check, bet-fold and bet-call on the river. And you can approach this from various perspectives. One is solver strategy, but if opponent is laggy he is not playing anywhere near solver. One is simple approach, does his story make sense? TT/99/T9/97/77 makes sense easily for flop and turn. For bluffs, any 9xxx could bluff and for more aggros any missed draw might bluff as hero is repping quite the hand he has. The question is, would he check the boat on the river? That answer resolves the problem of how to play the river. And the best one to make that estimation is hero itself, based on all the information gathered during the session.
