Am I ever scared of this bet on the river? (BIG bet)

A lot of mixed feelings about this hand. I understand I put myself in a tough spot by not betting out the turn.

The one thing that's tricky is that some of you are saying vs an unknown you would call, where as others are saying they would fold.

Now in general, am I giving unknowns more credit with hands like these? Even at these levels? (I assume as you move up you're not going to see as many donks as you see at NL10 + 25).

u can't ever fold in the hand.

I feel like for this exact hand, and other similarly played hands this is how I would play vs certain opponents:

Unknowns: Call 80% Fold 20% (I just can't give unknowns too much credit at these levels, if I get stacked I get stacked...)
Solid TAGS (same applies for LAGS who play TAG postflop): Call 50% Fold 50% (depends on read)
LAGS (preflop and postflop): Call 70% Fold 30% (assuming I'll see similar holdings as I did in this hand, but also flushes since they play any 2 suited cards).
Fish: Call 100% Fold 0%

Anyone have similar views?

this isn't necessarily true if they'll bluff the river a ton or even 50% of the time for that matter. especially if there always folding to a turn bet. (this hand isn't necessarily a good example but i think the concept ur talking about isn't always applicable)
