I would call this. He seems bit agg, you sized down otr(why?). He reps only 97s 77 and some flush draw that checked flop otoh he can any random club.
A small bet can provoke an aggressive opponent on the river.
Based on 148 hands, this opponent looks quite aggressive, so I also favor calling.
I did make the fold.
My thougth process:
His flop-check
-Turn call made me think he had a medium strenght hand with some showdownvalue willing to get through the river, and thus wouldn't need to blast it on the river.
I sized down the river giving such hands the opportunity to call. (I think this is probably a mistake and will try to adjust accordingly)
- on NL25 there is way to little bluff-reraising on the river wich makes me overfold on such occasions, I didn't take the opponent aggresivness into consideration wich would I def should have done.
-Being on a small down-swing after moving up in stakes recently made me think I was calling down to many rivers, I told myself to fold more of them before the session, also not a correct train of thougth but it was there.
Thanks for the evaluation
folding to river raises as a default in close situations is very reasonable.
When we downsize the river a bit, we call. The bet is made to induce crazy crap.
Is a check-call on river bad ?
I think checking leaves too much money on the table, to clarify.
I probably bet more for value, but when I'm betting a bit smaller than half the pot, I'm calling a maybe laggy opponent who smells blood in the water. If we bet like 7.5-8.5bbs and he raised, I would be more likely to find a fold, but we didn't and that's fine, but I'm calling, getting almost 2:1.
anything from check to bet 75% on river are close in ev btw. Calling the raise is +ev also, personally I fold.
I don't see how we can consider folding here. Sizing looks like a thin value bet with a hand like JT, not a flush. I would call the raise and feel fine about it.
I would also bet three streets, but that's me.

Since the flop isn't necesarrily a bad flop for the button raisers range the plan was to check-raise the flop.
My fault, I misread. Thought it was BvB. Thank you for pointing out it was BB v BTN.
AP I still think calling the river is fine.
