    Default Overpair on drawy board, 3/6

    This looks so much like 77 or a set, no?
    I tried a blocking bet on the river, but I think its super spewy now...

    If villain is aggro I'd never block this river without the straight.

    He can push you off way too many hands by shoving (I'm assuming AA is a snap fold as well if you lead the river).

    Also, looks like villain has str8/flush or a bluff.

    Sets usually bet the turn.
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    Yea, probably a str8. He's not necessarily aggro, just loose.

    The blocking bet is a spew I agree, c/f seems better
    Nine to five is how to survive - I ain't trying to survive / I'm trying to live it to the limit and love it a lot //

    Can offer RB deals on most sites, PM me.

    given that description of BTN, I'd lead the turn or 3bet the flop and call a push.
    anybody think this is spewy? i mean lots of pair + str8 draw hands are possible.

    i also like c/c or c/f more on the river - prob c/f.

    hmmm tough spot kinda- I need stats and/or reads to tell you how to play this, but against an unknown I fold flop sometimes and sometimes call.

    Against a loose/non aggro villain as you decribed I muck flop probably.

    As played check fold river.
    I got more flava than fruitstripe gum

    Oh yea and a 3bet is really spewy unless you plan to call a push which seems spewy against most players.

    i think 3bet or call and lead the turn is good vs a lag, but no good vs loose-passive.
