3 possible buttons for this river spot
 

UTG is the tablefish, loose and bad, overplays but not too much wts
all i have on BU is his stats, 23/20 on just 100 hands
no history

i think all 3 options are possible on this river.

because he overplays hands so he will call you with any flush or trips on this board? I see.

This has to be a fold. Anything else seems really bad.

please read again, you are mixing up UTG &amp; BU, but thank you for your analysis

my last thoughts on the hand:
i really think i have to fold here without a better read that villian can lay down hands getting good odds. There is not enough behind to make this move against an opponent i do not know really well. Of course target is that he should lay down his flush, but as written above, its not optimal here. 200$ more behind and i'd shove
