bxpeter is a longtime high limit TAG, I think he's on the tight side pre and possibly overaggro but just good aggro post.

If this was Fold#9 in the same session, I would prob call, but looks fine.

Gosh. I consider all three options fwiw. Probably call though.

Again I always pay off . It's clear what he represents, namely KJ. And just as in h#1 I can't see him value-raise worse. I think vs most 5/T guys I shoul fold this. But I dunno at high stakes? There's something to b said for balance? I guess u have flushes, some sets, KJ that u do pay-off with. So it's not super exploitable given the price to set the bluff up?

Do u even have a calling range on this river btw? Isn't AA a thin 3-bet for value?

Yeha agree with sushi, whats he representing? Should he really be checkraising KJ for value again here given that you raised utg 8 handed? Tough spot, i cant even see any hands he would have that should be turning into a bluff on this board, AcX? JJ with one club that hit the river?

he cc pre, does he that with KJ? i think if he is doing this, just with KJs and these are so less combos and he can bluff sometimes (as you said he is sometimes a bit too aggro) => i call

I think the pf CC is a very important part of this hand. I wonder if he has any off-suit hands? If not he doesn't have any semi-bluffs. My guess is that he either has KJs or a flush. Since he knows DD never FSDR (he should know that ) there's little hurry to 3-bet the turn. Istead he can see that the river is not a K, 2 or a high flush card? At least that's what he may be thinking. And thus his valuerange is wider than just KJs.

Results: his hand made no sense to me here aside from KJs, I felt his play wasn't representing enough hands so I called, even though I think its a weird line for a bluff too so maybe I beat nothing. He had KJo, surprises me preflop for sure.

Shoulda threebet.

His pf play is absurdly bad imo.

Agree that it's a weird spot for a bluff, but that doesn't mean villain isn't capable of turning something into a bluff here. I would pay this one off and not think about it much.
