Knowing how he accumulated those chips might help. Without that information I would fold as he probably has 67.

i would have led out T50-75 with his check and catching a piece of the flop. the information you'd gathered here would have made the hand a little easier to play. if he calls your flop bet on a board completely absent of a draw, you can assume that he might also have picked up a piece (or more!). if he were to then lead out on the turn, i'd fold. if he checked...i'd accept the free river card. then having picked up the 2nd pair, you have a hand worthy of calling a modest bet.


this river? tough one. playing a hit rag ace slow on the turn (hoping you'd bet), might explain the value bet on the river. but pushing over the top of your raise - representing 1/2 your stack? sure looks to be more than just a move. i'd have to have a pretty good read that he was a complete donk overvaluing some goofy pair hit somewhere to call this one. i'd be folding otherwise.

this is also one of those situations where you get in trouble overvaluing bottom 2-pair. with his sudden interest in the river, i might just be inclined to call - happy to take down a decent little pot.
