Top pair vs fish river shove

villain is a 38-8 who i've tagged as dead-money. His fold to c-bet is 64% (small sample) but he steals and bets a bit.
I doubt he has a set as he'll get a bet in somewhere with the two suit board. So, after the flop I'm putting him on 22-99/Ax/67/78/89/24/45/23-KQd
Turn narrows his range, and gets rid of the 22-99 (folds the weak pairs, bets/raises the sets) so 78/Ax plus the flush draws.

River is interesting. I need to be good 1/4. Easy call? or? i mean, i know 5d6d/TdJd got there, but meh, such a small part of his range. I just don't know if he shoves AT/A6 here.

What are you trying to do with your bet sizing?

Pre-flop is very interesting to me because this spot is a limp for me in a full ring game with a tight limper in the pot. Although I doubt you see as much of hands like AK, AQ, TT, JJ limped.

Looks like you decide to commit on the turn, but the river donk is not a good sign. However, I would still snap this figuring to be good a fair clip of the time but usually beat.

At first glance I think he has two black aces.

Still snap calling though.

this is a sometimes limp/sometimes raise spot for me. Limp unless there is a reason. The reason here was to hopefully iso the fish and see a flop in position and with a strong hand against his range.
