Vs unknown player, should call his min check-raise on the flop. And on the river I think big to fold some pockets and unfotrunally to hard fold fold one of this hand maybe should push all in or not if he doesn't know button like fold how exactly on this hand. Again too hard get board for big aces in 3bet pots.

I think You played it well. Problem with River Bet is You dont make him fold worse hand. You dont need to balance much this stake. For balance the River Bet it is the perfect hand

You already need to ask yourself what villain would check/raise the flop and would check the turn and river.
On the flop the call is close. Off course you have the backdoor flush draw and 2 over cards, but I expect villain would only raise for value. After villains check on the turn and the river I would expect villain has a medium strengh hand that would go for a cheap showdown. Not sure a mid pair will fold if you bet the river.

sdv is probably very low otr. villains line looks like he info-raised otf for a cheap sd. if you decide to call otf, you have to bluff runouts, this is the purpose of the call. i dont think we can generate more foldequity when we overbet otr for 2x pot. i like your line and sizing, nh.

Flop call is fine imo, I imagine villain can raise flop with some type of value hand or flush draw and we have overcards and back doors . No harm in checking behind on the river with what showdown value we do have seeing as though we haven't actually invested that much in the hand.

His medium strength hands can call one more bet after the flop I think.
