Getting Wheeled

Haven't been paying as much attention as I should, villian has not gotten out of line, neither have I. The river is tough to bet without an ace, but it's also a good bluff card, though I think a blocker bet gets me no extra equity. There's a good chance that a call-call line has me beat already; but I'm overall just confused. A little psychological question at the end.

After the hand the dialogue went like this. Note: I usually never chat, but was a little ticked off after this hand and wanted to feel better.

Me - I think you wheeled me there
Villian - What's a wheel?

What's your take on this, and of course, the entire hand.

"wheel" is I believe an american phrase. When I first started I never knew this

Tough one. Being 3handed his range can be so wide. You say he has not gotten out of line - I hate it but probably have to go with this read and fold.

Not sure about the merits of a blocking bet here.
Interesting hand... would like to see more comments.
