You induced bluff. You have to call. If straight draw or backdoor flush draw got there so will be.

Call and you will catch busted flush draw or two pair hand often enough to justify call. You also keep your opponents honest.

You also should bet more turn if you think villain could be drawing.

What are other viable lines? Lead 1/2 pot and fold to AI reraise?

Re: NL400 fold set to river push?
 

I do not see other than check-call or check-fold lines against good player. You do not have enough money for strong bet-fold.

But against weak players small blocking bet(like 80 $) could work. I am not fan of blocking bets, but against weak opposition they can be useful.

I would bet the full pot on the flop because you're up against 2 players and there's plenty of draws possible. Though I suppose it doesn't make a difference, really.

I'd lead the river as well. The only two hands I would worry about are KQs and QTs. Does a "20/14 TAG"-type o' guy play these hands?

Like this other dude said - your river check induces a bluff so you cannot really fold. I would never block here, any bet on the river would be for value.

If he did hit it - yuck. I don't see any way you could have avoided it; nice hand.

Looks good. Now call.

Re: NL400 fold set to river push?
 

bet more on the flop, otherwise is fine as long as you don't fold here.

Re: NL400 fold set to river push?
 

Just a little bit more on flop and turn eliminates any need for overbetting, anywhere in the hand.

LOL at folding the river.
