I horribly horribly butchered this hand. Didn't cbet the flop because opp pwned me on an earlier cbet where I folded an overpair to a flop CR AI... anyways thought I'd try to learn something.

Opp is TAGG and has been playing well.

Can I/should I bluff the river? Push it?

PS - I was kind of tilting at the time, hence the turn call which I guess I'd normally fold...

I think you played the hand fine. Turn play is fine, although in this spot I don't mind a half pot bet, something like $1.50-1.75. This is enough to get a fold out of most hands, and gets you basically the same info as a $2.50 bet does. It also keeps the pot size down. Calling the check minraise is okay since you can hopefully showdown cheap because you have position. Folding is okay too since you said villian was solid. As played, just fold that river. If villian was super LAG or you've seen him pull some big bluffs, then you could make a case for calling/pushing. I would need a good read to bluff this river, and having a note that says "Opp is TAG and has been playing well" isn't the one I'm looking for.
