Default $11 NLTRN: Facing a river shove

This hand was early in the tournament. I knew my opponent was loose (willing to call flop/turn with marginal hands), but I had no solid read on aggression or bluffiness. Is this a spot where I'm almost always beat?

Hero (t1570)
BB (t1430)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t60</font>, BB calls t40.

Flop: (t120) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t80</font>, BB calls t80.

Turn: (t280) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t160</font>, BB calls t160.

<font color="#CC3333">BB bets t1130 (All-In)</font>, Hero ???

I have to fold this, right?

I'm usually folding here unless its very late at night at villans location and he's -30 ROI on mad tilt. You still have 1340 chips left which should give you plenty of ammo to play.

Fold. He made a flush, has a ten, or likes betting all in and will give you a better spot.

yes fold river, an alternative play is to check turn and call a small river bet/bet half pot on river.

You may get called by some small PP's or a J on river, plus it keeps pot small when you're either way ahead (he has PP)or way behind (he has T or flush) or equal (he has K and its a chop).

You have to fold the river you only split it or beat a bluff, i hate the cliche but wait for a better spot.
