Default 79s: river bluff?

I decided to call preflop with 79s in position, since we are 160 bb deep.

Villain is probaly a reg, running at about 18/13, but only 240 hands.

His line doesn't really make any sense. I can't really see him cr this board with an overpair, so the flop raise looks like a steal attempt.

Bluff river? In one way i can't see him calling with like AK, but on the other hand, he probaly knows that i wouldn't turn a weak hand (small pair) into a bluff by betting.

Maybe i am overthinking this, but would really like some comments on this hand.

Check the river, 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] gives us no added FE and our line looks super weak.

Obv you could have fired the turn, but I would not argue against checking behind with a decent draw.

I think it's a bit deep for a flop shove, risk/reward looks a bit skewed imo.

I wouldn't bluff the river, he could have something like TT/99, or he might have a big ace and look you up anyway

if you think hes full of [censored] come over the top on that flop, I don't think u gotta shove it just reraise him to like 68. As played think you gotta check that river. Do you guys normally shove a draw on this flop for like 270 into a pot of 25ish?

No i think that we are too deep to shove here.

3-betting might be a good idea though.
