Against someone that passive who has just bet into the PFR, and bets into you again after you raise the flop? I think you get shown at least a J, and quite often a set every time here. I'd have folded the river and patted myself on the back for saving a BB

the river is the only bad street. You are almost certainly beat here

If hero is ahead this is

1) a busted draw
2) a high cost play at hero in a smallish pot
3) an opponent way out of line

These just don't seem likely. Fold.

Easy fold, if the turn went check check you could make an argument for it, but not here he's shown too much aggression to have worse than AQ.

He curiously paused for a second before betting the river. Does that mean anything?

Perhaps he was scared that the T of hearts was a diamond? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

If you took the "." out of his aggression factor, I might call. Otherwise, I'm not sure what you expect to beat vs. a somewhat passive opponent.

Results in white below:

 For some reason when he paused and then bet the river I had a vision of a second broken flush draw. Sure enough... he flipped over K9d. So I guess bad calls do work out sometimes? >_>
