No real read on the BB - this is my first time seeing him. We have no real history and have only been together an hour or two. I have not been playing many hands over that time but of course he may not have noticed that. What I can say is that he is an older bespectacled white male and he saw me fold in this hand, though he was NOT villain there and I mucked face down (he has no idea what I folded but it was obvious I folded something big-ish to anyone who was paying attention).

i would call here because for reasons i can't explain this seems kind of fos to me. it seems like a spot you see people bluff in.

I have played some LP guys online. Typically they don't bluff at all, but one of the buffs they do make is to toss in weird river bets. Like in this hand he could have Q5 and just for no good reason donk out. Another possibility is ofc Jx that wants a "cheap SD" (don't ask me to explain it ).

I call here and feel pretty good about it. I've seen villains take this line with naked Js as well as with desperation bluffs with conterfieted PPs and QX often enough to make this call profitable. We can probably discount bluffs some portion because it is 3-handed on the river, but even if he's never bluffing here I think there are enough Jacks in his range to make calling here correct. I've even seen villains Bet/Call w A high here for no logical reason.

Agreed, these types of players NEVER raise bluff but they do donk bluff.

if the guy donking looks like an idiot I call. otherwise just muck.

This pretty much sums up my thoughts.
