Default 5$NLTRN - Top pair probably best kicker against bad player

Villain has been playing really bad (according to sharkscope he had played only 10 tourneys), calling down my big bets with low pair all the way to the river. PF he called each and every bet OOP (with cards like Q2o). He has been also quite aggressive, stabbing at flops and check raising etc. I was given an impression that he likes to bluff.

Pre-Flop: (30) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (SB)
<font color="red">Hero raises to 60</font>, BB calls 40

Flop: (120) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
BB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets 80</font>, BB calls 80

Turn: (280) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">BB bets 150</font>, Hero calls 150

River: (580) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">BB bets 480</font>, Hero calls 480

Do you fold river?

No, I don't fold river against most opponents.

I would suggest raising the turn to 450. This is a wierd lead by villain, but you are still ahead more often than not. If he 4bet-shoves your raise then you will be faced with a tough decision.

Looks like a block but doesn't make sense for many hands to block here, hard to tell without background of a player/playing style etc.

As played I call river, not sure if I raise turn that often in a 5, I might be inclined to flat turn and flat river.

Why don't you protect your hand on the turn? You allowed him to get another card only for half of the pot. It's a big mistake imho.

yeah i think raising turn is best. River is a pretty easy call as played. Your hand is quite underrepped.

Also, HungryPeon do you play on ftp? If so I just played you.

as played i think we have to call but i dont like it

if you bet turn more and he raises such river i def fold

you shown him agression; he dont suppose your fold'd be easy; i think most of the times he got second pair here
