raise/fold to a push? Raise/call a push? Just call?

I call and make a note for future reference.

Looks like he is blockbetting a QX or bluffing with a busted draw.
2 pair seems unlikely and if he would have a set or a straight I think that he would have bet more on the river.
But I think if you raise not many hands wil call you that you beat.
So for the times that he has a better hand I think a call is fine.

I raise fold here i think

call

Raise more pre-flop, $20 - $25. Without any reads, a call on the river is probably best. I could never fold here without a very strong read, and I don't see much point in raising.

i minraise fold

I just call this and take a note. If this is a Q blocking/vbetting I don't think he pays off when you raise, and JT/FDs also just give up usually.

call prob

i prob make it 295 and fold to 3-bet. i think calling is losing too much value, no real draws are completed and he can easily be blocking a queen or 9x. if u think he is the type to be a hero and made this bet w/ no plans of folding to a raise i'd likely make it 380 or so.
