After the push on the river I felt compelled to call only because I was getting 5-1 or something rediculous. After the hand was over I questioned my bet and bet size on the river.
Villians stats are 29.3/18.5/4.3 over 500+ hands. There had been a number of big call downs and big bluffs on the table recently and felt like this was a good place for a value bet.

Better river play?

why didn't you reraise preflop? Also river might be a bet against a donk, but if the villain is solid you should probably just check behind. If you do decide to eek out some value from TT or something then you need to bet way less.

Fold to the raise too.

I guess I'll be nice and fill in some of the gaps. Hero has a very tight image (~18/12 iirc). Villain has been playing for a long time and losing. Villain made a very large failed bluff where he raised pf, called flop, called turn, raised river 4x on a flush card and got called by bottom 2.

find a converter; to lazy to try and read HH's; plus you'll get way more responses if it's a decent hand
