Bluffcatcher vs. 3-barrels from the BTN

Villain is a total unknown (zoom) but stack size obviously suggests a fish or a shortstacker.

Hero???

hero doesn't call river

Fold river. In general, I'd only look to bluff-catch with reads and a decent sample size, plus I'd need a better kicker.

Not ever bluff catching a triple from an unknown at these stakes sounds like a solid strategy. Fold river.

Fold or 3bet preflop imo.

Yeah preflop is probably slightly bad. Stack size and lack of knowing anything makes this hand a biot too weak to defend to a 3x on my semi arbitrary scale of feel.

So everyone seems to hate stationing this down.

Given that, if we were the BTN, and let's say we brick a heart draw or 78, does everyone therefore like triple-barreling a lot on this runout?
