Default 1/2 NL cash, riverbluff.

Called turn because I didn't put him on a very big hand (some mediocer queen) and thought I could beat him out of the pot on scary rivers, If I'm wrong I still got outs.

Villian seems fairly abc, a little fishy (calling every 3bet pre for an example)

I've played pretty TAGish so far, though I've started to 3bet him more lightly in the last 35 hands.

Generally I don't try and bluff bad fishy players off of top pair when playing heads up.

I fold turn here.

Yes it's a pretty good play if you do it with the right frequency . He doesn't know that you may be on a flush draw . In fact , given how he's been betting small , it's very likely you're calling on a draw .

You may even have had the best hand although unlikely . That is , if you've been c-betting quite often , the check raise can mean middle pair or better and you're ahead of many middle pair hands .

I like everything before the river. Turn call is fine imo - villain could be doing this with a hand like kj or spades, right?

I don't dislike the river play, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if villain calls and shows QJ or something. I agree with the sentiment that getting fishy villains to fold TP regardless of the board is a bad idea.

It should be really hard to call that riverpush without atleast a set imo(maybe q10). I could very well have called the turn with a FD, since he's betting it so weak.. and he prob doesn't think im turning my made hand into a bluff. But as you said, it should prob. only be done vs TAGish abc players.

I know what you're getting at (and representing) but if villain is fishy he's gonna say "loloTARPEDu w/ my queen that's the nuts yo" and call.
