Default bottom set vs huck seed

I'm playing 5 10 nl at the wynn yesterday, when Huck Seed sat down 4 to my right. While usually this means that this guy is going to be in 30-40% of pots, for some reason today he's not entering any pots. His VPIP is around 10-15%, and his PFR is 0. That's right....he hasn't raised a single pot preflop, and in fact has not raised a single pot post flop either. My imgae is fairly tight, however I did flip over the nut low on the river after I bluffed into 4 people earlier. Anyway, the following hand comes up.

I'm UTG + 1 with 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], with 1400 behind, SB has 1600, and huck (on the button) has 800 to start.

UTG folds, I limp, 3 other limpers including huck on the button, SB completes and 6 see the flop.

Flop comes 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

SB bets out 30, I raise to 90, folded to huck who flat calls, and SB folds.

turn comes the 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I bet 200, huck goes into the tank, and starts talking to me. Last time someone started talking to me, I was real animated (and I eventually turned over the nuts). This time I just sat there stoic refusing to talk back. He finally flat calls.

River comes the 10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

I push.

If I remember correctly from my time at the table with Huck, he just spiked his two outer on the river.

u push as apposed to chk/calling (raising if he doesnt push)? I hope thats the question. If your losing and asking if you should hav folded somewhere stop playing poker.

BTW chk/calling vs him the way he's been playing sounds awful. This should be in Mid stakes or w/e- sets on dry boards shouldnt be folded for 80bb live... especially against some1 who has chk/called twice on fairly draw heavy boards

durrr,

this is exactly my question. I thought about it later and realized that I probably should've check called the river. He isn't calling my push unless he has me beat in this situation, especially considering how he's played so far. However, if he does have some maginal hand or a missed draw but thinks he can push me off my hand, I hsould give him a chance. IF he had the double belly buster on the flop (65), then so be it, and I'm not going to get away from the hand, but I should at least give him a shot at bluffing at the end (even though the way he was playing, there was very little chance of this).

I'm finding it very hard to put him on a hand given his river fold.

An 8, with a decent kicker, for top pair on the flop.

See. Not hard at all.

His VPIP for the session is 10-15% and he's playing A-8? Questionable.

No one else is interested that huck seed is playing 5/10 w $800 and is playing weak/tight - scared money? I mean that's the whole point of the post right, because there's certainly not any strategy.
