So villain appears to be a lose / aggro fishy player, running 33/23 Agfrq. 75 over 30 hands. 1 tabling. Standard 3bet for value with TT vs. this guy. Obviously I don't have any specific reads on the guy, so I can only guess what a range a player like that has.
Flop cbet I am sure is good, once he c/c and donks turn, what would you make of that. Of course, with most fish that have proven to be rather passive, this would be a rather simple fold, since I would assume that fish has SD value once he c/c, and is not turning that into a bluff. But with guys like that, with somewhat spewy stats, even though over a small sample?

If we want to play back here, calling seems better, because we mostly only beat bluffs. On the other hand, calling with a hand that can't improve but is very vulnerable seems problematic. Should we ever call here and fold some rivers, or is it fold now, or call / close your eyes, call any river?

Tbh, in my experience this line is usually a bluff. Regs tend to donk OTR, when they improve. Although you are deep here, I think you can call OTT and fold to a river bet, since you look really strong when you call - there are no draws, so you are basically repping Qx and better.

villain is certainly no reg, he was one tabeling zoom. I agree that this line is often a bluff when coming from a reg, but from a fish? And I feel calling turn without calling most rivers could be bad because the fish likely does not notice how strong my range should be.

But most fishes are scared of bluffing the river, so if you are worried about scenario when villain is a fish, i think we still can call turn/ fold river.

P.S. in my expirience fishes are not bluffing with this line.
