Just call or should I push?
I probably would have called a bigish bet but not sure if I would have called a push by villain.

bet the pot on the flop
raise the pot on the turn
I think just a call on the river sucks but its worth it, villains line reeks of a flush draw

Did he really bet 20 on the river ?

There is no point in raising the river IMO. There aren't many (any?) hands that you beat that would call you, so you're basically throwing the strength of your hand away by pushing.

Also, bet more on flop, turn looks okay as played (maybe a bit more).

t200 on the flop
t550 on the turn
Call the river-bet

He can`t bet t20..t40 is the lowest

Pot the flop on a board this draw heavy and so many in.

Raise full pot on the turn - he's clearly trying to set the price for some kind of draw so make him pay through the nose for it whilst denying him the implied odds to hit.

Just call the river, and bless him for making it so cheap.
