Hero Call or Insantiy

Full Ring started off pretty good and then I had my normal meltdown of a 3 buyin down day. I've a little bit of it back and I am up a little over 6 buyins over about 6300 hands. Here is a chart.


I'm running at a 18.7/13.8/2.41 over those 6300 hands. 3betting at 4.9%. I've starting calling a little more than 3 betting lately. I think it is not working and need to stay in the lead.
I had a fairly un-interesting hand the other day that I could use some thoughts.


Villain 28/15/1.5over 135 hands
River Aggression 7.0 or 47% over 15 hands.

How often is the river bet a bluff here?

Hero bets $20, BTN calls $20

Turn: ($72.50) 7d (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN checks

River: ($72.50) 9d (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $50.10 all in, Hero calls $50.10

I think this is bluff enough times to call?
Thoughts?

One more time.

Go Kurt Warner and Fitz and the rest of the Cardinals.

I truly believe that they have a shot.

You've played your hand pretty transparently.

Villain is likely betting a pocket pair for value. Or he may have picked up the backdoor flush draw on the turn and gotten there. Or he may have something strange like a carefully played JJ.

I'd just fold and choose a better spot to make a hero call.

It's gotta be a bluff at least 40% of the time for a call to be profitable. But does a bluff include a pair of 3's? A busted straight draw (67s) that rivered a pair of 7's? More likely is a 9 (A9, 98), a rivered flush, or a flopped set of 10s. I think there are too many ways you can be beat, and I don't see all-in bluffs like this that often (not 40% at least). In general, I don't have this call in my repertoire. Maybe I should.
