Hero ???

Villain is a live one, so far he did not respected my cbets, but liked to make small bets for his own. That's why I didn't cbet but liked to c/c the flop for drawing cheap and to c/r the turn. Villain thought long before calling the c/r at the turn.

What should be my line on the river?

Should I play any street before different?

Leading this river is tuff given stack sizes at this point. It makes b/f really difficult due to the good odds we will be getting, and b/c will probably get us owned by a flush. I am not sure if even this live one will shove worse with any kind of reliable frequency. C/C could be really spewing because he should be checking behind a ton of hands with showdown value that would have likely called a bet. Not to mention shoving better hands/bluffs which puts us in a really crap spot. Where we are trying to fiqure out villain's bluffing frequency on his river shove.

This may note be a bad time to block the river for 20 and fold to shove. Unless we believe he is the bluffy/aggro and will try to shove us off a better hand.

start by betting the flop please, standard spot for a cbet/semibluff imo.. As played I probably end up shoving the river just because CO sucks bigtime
