Preflop
Nothing to add.

Flop
Very good flop for my perceived range + I have backdoor draws.

Turn
Standard barrel on a scare card and now he raises me. Actually the only hands I could believe him in are sets with 77 and 66, because I don't think he raises A6-A7 or 76s.
Furthermore, even if he indeed has a set, why he raises me, given the fact that many players barrel on scare card with air - he should be more bluff catch happy, or at least postpone his raise to the river. At least this is my opinion, I dunno, maybe I'm just levelling myself.
Thin value raise with AQ/AJ is ultra rare imo and also doesn't make much sense.
Kx call, so the rest is air/gutshots, etc.

Still, in my opinion he definitely doesn't rep much, so I decided to bluff catch.

River
Good card, I beat A6/A7 now + him having Kx becomes close to impossible. I think I am facing a highly polarized range here, therefore I call.
His line looks super weird, so getting to the SD and making a note goes up in value.

I think i like the turn call, but kinda dislike the river call.
Once you call the turn, it should seem pretty obvious to him that you either have an ace or a king.
I doubt he will keep bluffing the river versus your perceived range, and i highly doubt he's valuebetting a worse hand.
So, although i agree that he isn't repping alot of value hands, i also feel like he's not repping any bluffs either. I would fold here.

Agree with Swaytje, he shouldn't really expect you to fold very often on that river given how stationy people get BvB, so I think you're getting towned almost always. Regs don't usually go crazy bluffing like this so I don't think you will be getting exploited if you fold here, IMO. Turn is meh, he definitely should be bluff raising that turn but alot of regs simply don't, and I also think he raises A6/A7 there most of the time.

Very good udea Swaytje, I thought calling turn = calling river is a must, but yeah, it becomes obvious that I have a strong hand, so he shouldn't bluff me OTR.

ofc, river could devolve into a leveling battle, but i would feel pretty safe resting on 'bluffing here looks suicidal'

Without additional information on him, I´d definitely call the turn raise but river looks kind of questionable. If he is not a complete idiot or doesnt think about your range at all, he has to realize that his fold equity is pretty low.
