T6o blind war... overzealous?
 

Villain is 24/19 and seems decent enough. We have no blind war history that I can recall. Is this the right spot for something like this or is it a spew? Anyone give up on river?

Bad river card for you. I'd give up. Prefer a flop raise.

I think this is okay through the turn... the K is a good turn follow-through card for him if he's got air (and expects you could peel light), so he wont always have something call-worthy there.

The river card obv sucks for folding out any kind of made hand, I wonder if there are enough flush draws / A-hi that were preventing a free SD to warrant betting? Not sure, we'd have to enumerate villain's range which is pretty wide.

Certainly can be frustrating though, if villain has a hand like 55 or A3 and decides to get stubborn with it.

fwiw, I have seen a lot of villains call river with A-high puttin you on a draw.

This looks spewy to me. I think raising the flop leverages your positional advantage best (and costs the least).

As played, river bet is kind of spewy. Nothing's changed (he's not going to ck-fold a pair)and he didn't give up on the turn, so I think he looks you up here a lot.

I'd be shocked if ace high folds here. If OP is trying to fold out ace high this whole plan is ridiculous. Queen high maybe folds.

What cards to you bet the river on? Anything that doesn't pair the board?

I'd bet a T, 6, maybe a spade, maybe a Q?

If you could have any hand to raise this turn with, T6 would be one of my last choices. With no history, I would choose to make this raise with a better hand. Expecting an unknown TAG to have a big enough flaw in his game that you can exploit it profitably with such a bad hand is a little, well, overzealous IMO.
