I don't mean to be mis-leading in my thread title. I don't think the villain here is a calling station normally. In fact, I've found him to be quite tight. I had 266 hands on him and he was 9/7 with a CB/FCB of 50/50.

However I got the feeling in this hand that he took a dis-like to my steal here and was going to call me down with anything. He made no attempt to raise my bets through the streets and I just didn't put him on Aces or a set.. but this river card made my decision difficult.. or not..

How should one deal with this type of situation? Is it worth calling the river bet just for the information? Was checking the river a mistake?
