Default 50NL - River bluff vs random

Villain is some 30/0/1.5 fish who's been calling and folding to cbets a lot. His AF is highest on the river. I'm running at like 20/17/4 and have shown down good hands. I figure he has busted spades a lot but I can't possibly call, so I do this instead. Any merit to it?

If he's folding to cbets alot then he must of called on the flop with a hand. he can also easily have a nine here. His AF is probably highest on the river because if he gets that far into the hand he generally has a decent hand by the river.

I dont see why we cant call here if we are that confident he has a missed flush draw. We have a pair which is obviously better than a bluff but Im not sure why this cant also be a 9 very often. This seems really thin.

No.

In this particular hand, you will be called by so many hands because the face cards came on the turn and river. So if he had a draw, he is very likely to have a pair now. Any 9 has a straight. People don't really realize how you run and what you show down. Just give it up.

this is a horrible spot imo. the only hand he folds are spades anything else calls. also if you say he folds to c-bets then he must have something

If he has a 9, he's not going to fold, and neither is he going to belive you have a 9.

Just call his river bet if you think it's a bluff, better hands are always going to call your raise.

Alright, I guess this basically felt like spew at the time, too, but I don't think he has a 9 hardly ever here with this bet sizing.

Anyway, since my hand is too weak to call a lead on most rivers, is there any merit to "semivaluebluffing" the turn here? I mean I can't just assume he has a strong hand when he calls the flop, since so many draws are possible.

So I bet the turn and maybe he calls with a spade/straight draw, maybe he folds one pair better than 6s, maybe he calls with a better hand and I suck out, and it keeps him from bluffing me off my bottom pair on the river. Thoughts on that?
