I'll go with call, but I'd be tempted to raise that turn bet.

What can you beat? You can beat a draw (JT, QK, bluff).
The hands that beat you are (Set, two pair) That's basicly a pot odds desicion. 38.75/12.5 thats like 3.1 to 1. If he is a loose player I would be 50/50 on calling or folding. If he is a tight player I would certainly fold. Rather fold than call but those odds are really attempting.

Hmmmmm. River minraise? I think this villain is betting more somewhere with 2p+, but won't call a shove often enough to give us our due value. But he'll call the mr a reasonable amount of the time with all kinds of crap.

Have to say though, at the table I probably call, which is depressing because I think this is the kind of spot that differentiates the real poker players from the monkeys. Pass the bananas.

If you're going to play after the turn, I think you need to raise.

Probably the better option is to fold because he obviously doesn't care that the pre-flop raiser is betting out with a queen on the board. The only thing you beat is a really aggressively played JT. You're going to see Q9, 99, or 55 here a lot.

I like your line, calling the river for sure. If he is as aggressive as your stats show then he could be doing this with a variety of hands that you beat.
