Villain has been 30/0/0.9 with no real reads. I was confident that he had me beaten, but I'd be folding for one bet on the river in a big (12.5BB) pot. I only have to be wrong about 8% of the time to make calling correct. Thoughts?

Once you raise the turn it's pretty clear you have TP or better. When he donks the river you are toast. Against someone with a low AF at low stakes i would puke-fold this without a second thought. He has two pair and is planning a b/f if you have AJ, etc. but you don't so might as well fold.

he didnt raise the turn, he overcalled UTG's raise.
I think you can fold this. He's not an aggressive player, and he's put in a raise. Take it at face value when you have nothing else to go on. He has top pair no kicker beat.

I have added 'won when raised turn' to my popup stats for that exact reason.

To quote Paul Harvey: "...the rest of the story."
River: (11.50 BB) 8 (2 players)
UTG bets, Hero folds.
Final Pot: 11.50 BB
I hesitated--hearing an echo of "one bet on the river"--before clicking "Fold" so I thought I'd see what you all thought. Thanks.
