Pretty much nothing about that hand made sense the way the villain played it, I couldn't put him on any hand at all. As it turned out I guess he pretty much has to have the goods, but the minbets on each street and check/allin river... wtf?

Preflop and flop are fine IMO, the turn is bad because at this stage you have TP with a strong kicker, and the NFD- I'd be looking to make a stack committing bet where I'm reasonably sure I'm ahead. There's no draws that came in on the turn, so unless he setmined and hit, or has some funky 2 pair hand (both of which we have outs against) you're ahead. Get as much of the stacks in as you can.

As for the river, well I think you played it fine. Following the check you're entitled to try for value from a call with a weak A or possibly second pair, you could check behind I guess but I think that's kind of nitty, there could definitely be value in betting. The check raise is just so rarely happening on the river that bet/folding is acceptable IMO.

I would raise the turn to 600~ assuming the bets are blocker bets as you dominate most of the range of hands he would do that with.

good chance he has hit a set on the flop, and hoping you have an A

min raise to let you put the money in works on flop not turn, so tries the shove on the river.

basically wanting you to think he is bluffing throughout when he actually has it

Raise turn

If flat turn, check river.
