Default awkward 2pr spot

Never played on the site before but villain has largish stacks on the other 15/30 and the 10/20 table. He seems really bad HU but it's like a passive/nitty badness (prob like 55/15 HU or so).

I would describe him as one of those "unorthodox, always played on a small site, has a lot of leaks, but wins and can be kinda tricky" players.

He is not 3betting light preflop, he has only 3bet once in about 25 minutes and I folded so it is not out of the question i guess for him to show up w/ AAA or something althought I think A9-AQ are prob a big part of his range here. This is the first time he has minraised me btw, he shoved over my cbet once in a rr pot and make a normal sized raise in one other hand.

Advice on all streets welcome.

How about a turn raise/fold, and choosing either to valuebet the river or check it behind. Seems to keep the pot about the right size for you here, without much risk of being bluffed out, at least by this guy.

i think if you're not comfortable calling this river bet a turn raise to 1100ish and going from there makes the hand much easier to play/profitable

ya i dont think this is a bad idea. i think im too showdown oriented and so i try and avoid raise/folding in spots when i can call turn/call riv but ya i think thats a good idea and i do take that line occasionally but usually with weaker hands that are super easy to fold to a raise
