Should I fold the river here? In most cases, in the micros, when they bomb the river they have it, so I am leaning towards yes. I just could not let this one go, though. The more I think about this, the more trivial the fold becomes...as I am really only beating a bluff

hi

villain seems fishy, and he's not representing much.
the hands that beat you are only most other Tx and fullhouses (some of which would raise flop or turn) and some very unlikely A2/76.
the hands you beat are his bluffs (mainly busted spades), but sometimes you can also run into randomly played hands like 8:c 6:c or AA. :f_biggrin:

when you have a T it's harder for him to have a T himself, so i'm definitely not folding trips here. a hand like QQ is closer, though i wouldn't fold either.
he doesn't rep much and we don't know his tendencies, so he should have enough worse hands to make a call profitable.

From this information villain is a passive fish and this is a clear fold since pass/fish call call call and and bet with the nuts also it's not the right situation for a bluff catch since you 3bet flop and bet turn villain is going to check action to you on the river with missed draws if you check the turn you could bluff catch the river

Also vs passive fish don't think they won't be holding then cards here specially shoving the river
