To set this hand up, villain fancies himself to be a pretty skilled player. But after getting pwn3d the first match I won the second and it was pretty easy to pick up on his patterns. Basically, he turned air or 1 pair into a bluff on the river taking obvious bluff lines, i.e., he's doesn't create a believable story and reps nothing in his bluffs.

These are relevant hands because he may think he's representing trips.

Here are two previous hands/leveling wars

Here's the hand in question
I figure:
1. He's trying to push me off a chop a lot of the time.
2. He's bruffing with his air and missed draws a decent amount
3. I get pwn3d by KQ or 5x the rest.

P.S. he would expect me to lead or check-raise toppest of pears on the turn.

To me it's an easy call and looks quite obviously like a missed draw, something like TJss?. If not then hes just taking you to value town with his KQ/dry 5 lol.

If I am reading that right, the villain made a bet on the river 3X the pot. Why risk the chips at this point when you have such a big advantage? IMO I think for a bit then fold.

I am troubled because if I stove this it looks like a call but a lot of my equity is based on chopping a lot....
