Villain is pretty much unknown. I have been playing aggressive on this table but have won all hands with only 1 hand going to showdown (which I won). I try to improve my hand reading skills but I am lost on the river. What would you do?

Poker Room skin
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $1/$2
4 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
Hero: $246.40
Button: $123.00
SB: $198.00
BB: $277.30

Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is UTG with Q A
Hero raises to $7, Button folds, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: 8 9 A ($21, 3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $17, SB calls, BB folds.

Turn: 9 ($55, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $40, SB calls.

River: J ($135, 2 players)
SB is all-in $134, Hero ?

I just wrote a very very long post about ranges for the villain here and different levels of thinking from his/her perspective.

Then I deleted because it's such a waste of time guessing how unknowns play postflop.

FWIW I think I time down and call in this spot after the action went the way it did.
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

Good to know. I did fold and got shown JTo. I have been playing bad lately and I seem to be folding way too much. At least most people think that I did the right thing.

I don't think its a bad fold, just a better play by villain in bluffing the river.

wow it sucks for my fragile online ego that I deleted the super long post where I put villain on JT and snap call

Yeah i mean i don't think he has the flush all that much but probably had a boat a lot. I mean what hand could you put him on that is bluffing here?
