I think you should call here. We do not have a really strong hand, but BB here seems to know the concept of stealing, and by checking the turn behind we are inducing a bluff. When villain then bets, I say that this is a bluff more than 4:17 of the time, making this a profitable call.

use some hand reading. the guy either called the flop with Ax Jx 7x or a flush/straight draw. the turn hits everything and likely prevents a bluff from 7x. when he bets the river his range is massively weighted toward Ax Kx QT and clubs.

also 4/17 for breakeven is wrong. it's 1/5.25, not 1/4.25.

x = chance you're good
x*4.25 - (1-x)*1 = 0
4.25x = 1-x
5.25x = 1
x = 1/5.25

If I wanted to put this in Pokerstove, what would I need to look at in his PT stats in order to get a somewhat close or valid % range of hands on this guy? So that I could put the range plus the board and my hand into Pokerstove.

Didn't you say he defended 50% on BB? Start with that. Very very easy fold on river.
