I think based on how passive a line you took I would call here but i dont love it. not a lot of hands make sense though for him, he could be turning something into a bluff here

he needs to be bluffing or v-betting worse like 40% of the time to call here...seems like a fold. i can't imagine he thinks YOURE bluffing when you raise the river, and i also can't imagine he's making it 700 straight for value with worse.

edit: actually if he would flat TT here pf its probably close. "meh tag" doesn't really tell us a whole lot.

give us more info than 'meh tag'

I only have like 40 hands with him. He hasn't done anything in those hands to make him stand out to me

Sick spot, but I can't see myself folding given the way you played it.

What are everyones thoughts on flop/turn?

i would fold in those situations. you normally running into fullhouses.

Hero calls are only good as a read based play. if i have specific read on villian or hud stats suggest me a hero call, i will do it.

it's a tough spot, i leveled myself into those hero calls alot in the game.

i think another thing you can do is make the raise to sth like 120 so u can muck it with a little more confidence. but this is a something minor.
