BB is 75/10/.8 through 200 hands.

Super-passive calling station, folds to cont bets unless hits. Almost plays face up. I thought he probably had a flush on the river but would also call value bet with an Ace. Obv fold to shove, right?

Looks pretty standard with those stats.

After the BB checks to you on the river I think you have to decide if you are beat or not and either:

1)Commit to about a $2.20 bet that will get value from AK, A9, AQ, AJ and pot commits you so that you can't get bluffed for that last $2 the BB has left
2)Commit to a check and hope your 33 held (By the way the pot had ~64BBs in it which is good value for a set when there is a good chance your opponent hit the flush)

These two options avoid the "compromise play" of a small bet and doesn't land you in that tough spot. Which route you choose depends on your read, though I would lean towards checking.
