Default 200NL - Playing the leveling game with a fish

SB is 65/20/.86, with a river AF of 5 over ~100 hands.
BB (villain) is 32/.5/1.15 with a river AF of 6 over ~75 hands. He's bet huge on the river when the turn has checked through in a HU pot with me earlier this session (edit: I folded).

Full Tilt Poker, $1/$2 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 4 Players
LegoPoker Hand History Converter

BTN: $223.65
SB: $169.85
BB: $103.90
Hero (UTG): $339.65

Pre-Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (UTG)
Hero raises to $7, BTN folds, SB calls $6, BB calls $5

Flop: ($21) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 Players)
SB checks, BB bets $18, Hero calls $18, SB calls $18

Turn: ($75) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 Players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks

River: ($75) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 Players)
SB checks, BB bets $78.90 and is All-In, Hero?

Is he bluffing here enough to make calling profitable?

I should add that I've gotten my hand caught in the cookie jar on this table on the 1 double barrel I did and about half of the c-bets I've done so far.

fold

and not on this hand, but stop c-betting at this table after it stops working and you have your "hand caught in the cookie jar"?

What makes you think I hadn't, at this point. I'm not asking for general strategy, I'm asking for thoughts on this hand.

Why not bet the turn? Perfect card for you to rep and it gets you to a free showdown if you want it....

Betting the turn has it's merits, but I'm not sure I need to rep anything. I think I probably have the best hand, although I'm not necessarily confident enough in that statement to VB on the turn 3 way after the flop action.

if u've already established this player as a fish, beware. From my experience i've notice that poor players will often times make huge overbets in prayer of a call. I relate this to A. not realizing its an "overbet" and B. a lot of poor players push because they dont know how to bet or what is considered a normal bet

If it heads up I consider calling but it being 3 way drastically decrases his chances that he is bluffing, so I fold
