Default Blatent bluff, or easy laydown?

Villain kinda loose, maybe hyper-aggressive at first glance... not a very good read though.

Party Poker $50 No-Limit Hold'em (6 max, 4 handed) converter

Button ($117.8)
SB ($69.6)
Hero ($47.9)
UTG ($44.65)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
UTG calls $0.50, Button calls $0.50, SB (poster) completes, Hero checks.

Flop: ($2) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $2</font>, UTG folds, Button calls $2, SB folds.

Turn: ($6) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $5</font>, Button calls $5.

River: ($16) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets $40</font>, Hero ????.

Final Pot: $56

My gut told me to call, and that nobody would make a bet that big that wanted to be called... but my brain got the better of me. Which should I have listened to? How often would you say these LHAGs are abusing the scare card?

With no read, absolute easy laydown. Don't try to call down "bluffs" so much. In the end they'll go down against someone with a real hand. Sometimes just give them credit for having enough moxy to bet so much and fold. Pot odds definitely also play a role here, you could be beat with so many hands its not worth it.

Pretty easy fold. Would a blocking bet be out of line against a player thought to be hyper-aggressive? And not so much that he's hyper-aggressive, but maybe because every legitimate draw that he could've been chasing hit?

I guess the problem is that u didnīt draw a line to your mind on the turn. There he already had the str8 or not. So, you should think about your bet there. Should u check there and depending on his bet decide? Should u bet a higher ammount on the turn?
The check on the river made it possible to not have any read on him. Best course of action would be a blocking bet on the end. Get reraised, fold.
Or like u seem to have done, make up your mind on the turn and fold to any big bet he makes.
