Hero ?

Do you think I should have barrel there for the 3rd time?
I mean - his range in this spot are mostly Tx (TT he raises OTT, 77-99 he should fold OTT).
Can I generate there folding equity enaugh? He should fold JTs, KTs and ATs, what do you think?

By checking you probably lose. If you bet for example 50bb, villain has to fold 40% of the time. I think this would make a decent 3 barrel bluff.

I wouldn´t bet OTR. We don´t know him and I don´t think it worth the risk especially on NL5 when can call you with pair of 3. Also WTSD stat would help a lot, but as we don´t have any info, I just wouldn´t go for it.

River is a xf. He called 3b and 2 barrels.

Actually this is how I played.
He showed J♦:T♦: so in this particular spot 3rd barell would probably work.

Well that was a bit loose call from villain OTT but I guess unknown villains can have hands like this. Also some weaker Qx are in his range. When we 3 barrel in 3bet pot he should have hard time even calling with AQ here and with 50bb bet we need him to fold only 40%. Nothing here suggests that he has a strong hand like 2pair+.
So when we are probably losing quite often by checking but we have a chance to win the pot with a bet, and we have already invested quite much money, I think it would be more +EV to bet on the long run.

What you have invested in the pot already is totally irrelevant. It doesn't matter whether it is you who put the money in the pot or the two of you won a Poker Stars lottery getting to fight over the $ in the middle. (This is an insight you must absolutely acquire.)

Yes that is true, my bad.
What are your thoughts on checking or calling river?

If I had notes on this guy (calling station + does not hate money) I'd fire river. Versus unknown, it is quite close. We might be overbluffing if we bet this and all worse. We'll have some smaller suited connectors to bluff with and not that many value bets. Also, an unknown will have a much stronger range than the present fish so he folds less.

I am not sure about that on blank river...
