I don't mind calling, and getting it in on any river.

Stacks are such that it should be real easy to get the money in, and the board isn't terribly drawy. Give him a chance to overvalue his hand some more (I doubt he is bluffing here hardly ever.

Shoving, of course, is fine too. Prevent scare cards from falling/etc.

If he has the straight, oh well.

I'm not sure he always stacks off on the river after you call such a scary looking turn check-raise. I would just push now.

I'd call. Second best is shove. I lean towards call though because out of the three possible types of hands he has here (pair and draw, two pair or set), two out of those will pay off a river bet and you have position. The other one (pair and draw) may try and bluff river. There really aren't any scary cards for you on the river, so I'd call it and get the rest in on the river. If you push and he has a pair and some draw, then it's unlikely he's calling.

You must know something about this guy we don't know, or you have a really good crystal ball. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
I think you should consider my previous post for reasoning. For instance, if our opponent has a set or two pair, is he folding the river? no. It's very unlikely that villian has top pair, so why take the chance of a fold when we will likely win it on the river anyways? Even if he will fold 10% of the time, that's a mistake.
