NL25 TP2K oop against Sunday Gamblers

[WantToLearn]

Ok, some more advice needed, thank you very much in advance.

<u>Reads:</u> General gameplay was pretty loose here. I´m there for a couple of hands only. Average pot size and flop seen rate are high. No specific read on villain, but he plays only one table.

<u>Question:</u> General line-check. I figured that this may be a "top pair is worth more than normal here" situation. Was unsure about river play though.

River card not withstanding I'd push the turn if I were to bet it considering his stack size. Just makes for a really awkward spot on the river. On the river I'd think I'm good the ~&lt;20% I need to be to call his river bet and I'd much rather push than check/call.
