Weird Check/Raise On River

I didn't know much about villain, only he was a reg and was playing 36 VPIP.

The check/raise on the flop made me realize he had a T and wanted to build the pot, another combo draw like my hand was unlikely because I had it and maybe he had KQ or KJ.

Now on turn, I still felt he was most likely with the T here.

Then on the river after I got my hand I was prepared for a check/call.

But since he checked I thought he only had the T here or the K and I value betted my straight.

Then he did that weird check/raise on the river that I wasn't expecting at all.

It didn't feel good, but after much thought I ended up calling anyways, because my initial read was that he had the T and maybe he could that move on the river with other T's besides KT, or AT, or T8.

But is that a good assumption? or was I totally dead in that spot?

How would you have played the hand?

villain needs to have no clue about relative hand strength to value jam with just Tx, and i don't think he has nearly enough bluffs with this line. it's well played if you fold the river - you still have KT, AT, KK, AA.

I can't remember the last time a river check/shove was a bluff.
Mind you -- I don't call such a play hardly ever, and only if I have seen the player x/r as a bluff previously.
If I see it happen when someone else calls, I try to take a note

Thank you. No I didn't think this was a bluff, just I was rationalizing if an inferior hand could do this thinking he was ahead. But that wasn't the case either.

River is a fold I think. I would consider to fold the turn already on the decent Cbet. You have only a draw on the moment and decent chance not all your straight and flush outs are life on a paired board like this.

river fold, he almost 2.25x the pot c/r. and I really don't believe anyone does this at these stakes unless they think they have the nuts, think your min call range here is a boat.

keep grinding
