This is a good one. Looks like either a missed flush draw or a PP possibly higher than 88.

I think just check, if he is a fish, he might not be able to get away from AA-QQ or AQs. No way he is laying down with AJ/KJ or a boat. For the most part I think the only hands he will fold to a push that you would beat anyway are TT/99/KQ, possibly AQ.

Of course I am a fish myself, and way more weak/tight than you are. He is definately showing some major weakness with that turn bet, and river check. Has he shown the ability to lay down big hands before??

Check. If he's a fish I don't think he's folding too many better hands. There's also a decent chance you have the best hand.

Because before I saw the river check, I'm afrais that a shove is what he's trying to induce.

Yeah, probably a stakes thing. Someone I peg as a fish is almost never thinking that deep. It's weak=weak so often that I just stick it in.
