reads matter here its situation depended but the Pot is pretty Big and theres a chance he takes a stab > yes i call here.. tough you dont beat much so maybe it doesnt really matter...also metagame is a little factor here imho...that means if i fold here i def call next Time if the board doesnt suck too much

nah you're toast. he doesn't get to the river with anything you beat on this ragged board.

the only possible draws on the flop are straight draws, that villain is unlikely to cc with preflop, and the turn improves all of those. the bdfd got there too on the river.

With no reads here I would fold the river for the same reasons Yourface would. But Wunderkind is right, this is still a very opponent specific situation. Against very loose opponents who are not afraid to bluff when you show weakness, checkfolding the river would be to weak. For example, there are some opponents who will take a hand like KQ or Ax to the river in this spot and some other junk, and then they will bet once you check hoping you will fold. Dont fold against these guys.
