Villain is 35/9/2.7 over 270 hands. No specific reads apart from that. I'm new to the table.

The board started to get iffy on the turn so I'm not too keen on playing it for stacks, do we like just calling the minraise?

River as played, I was planning a check-call. I didn't like the idea of raising the turn/betting the river as I'm not too keen on building the pot too much here when his line is the typical donk line when they have a monster.

Even so, should I be value-betting the river and calling a raise?

As played, what the fuck? Call?

He could have A2 or 66, very likely to limp with one of those given his stats.
