Default 3/6 HU hand with a bit of history

Table breaks and we're heads up, I have almost no hands on the guy. His SN seems pretty bland. We play a few hands without a flop (between 5-10), and he reraises me eventually, I fold. About 3 or 4 hands later this hand happens:

Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $3/$6
2 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
SB: $618
Hero: $597

Pre-flop: (2 players) Hero is BB with XX
<font color="#cc0000">SB raises to $24</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $80</font>, SB calls.

Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($160, 2 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $90</font>, SB calls.

Turn: J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($340, 2 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $100</font>, <font color="#cc0000">SB raises to $216</font>, Hero folds.


Then about 5 hands after that, we play this one. I intended on shoving any river except for a 6 or an 8. Like/dislike?

Just keep betting. But I often just give up on these types of flops (sometimtes c/r bluff). Generallly I think its better to just check/shove in these spots instead of a small raise. They won't fold a draw or 9 for that price, and you get a tough river spot. But just make it 90 yourself and they'll fold a lot.

Even with a plan of shoving lots of rivers? I had air btw, not sure why I bothered blanking it out.

Oh and Kev only party poker has this [censored] up HU structure.

check/shoving turn is pretty bad imo.
