HU and I get shoved OTR.

OK so two different hands for you guys to think about. I'm playing HU at £2.5/5 levels. I'm playing against someone who started out pretty aggressive vs me. He 3bet with AT, bet a Kxx flop and then shoved an x turn. I was only 40bbs deep and I called him with AT, was a chopped pot. Since then he's shown much less inclination to bluff me and has generally slowed down. I started off quite passively, not c-betting much but have become much more aggressive to take advantage of his weak play. I should also say he likes to call my bets with weak holdings. So I call his £15 raise pre with :7s: :7d: Flop (£30): :Qd: :2d: :2h: I donk into him £22 and he raises to £67, I call. Turn (£164): :Kd: He bets £94, I call. River (£352): :4c: He shoves in his stack, I have about £290 left. I? My reasoning for calling flop raise is that I believe if he had hit this flop he would just call my bet because it looks like I'm FOS especially when I've recently been donking out a lot against him. Turn is a good bluffing card for him because it makes the flush. He could have it but with the way he's played I really think he would just flat call a FD on the flop. My inclination initially OTR was to call because his range is very polarized. But at the same time I'm not sure anymore if he will be pulling a 3 barrel bluff on me. (Have decided I will post the other hand later)

Re: HU and I get shoved OTR. well the 4 on the river is very much a nothing card it is exactly the sort off card you want to see come because if you were ahead on the turn then you are still ahead unless he has pocket 4's for me the turn would be the real scare card here and when he bets if you still think theres a good chance that you are ahead then this is your chance to find out where you stand with a reraise im only flat calling the turn here if i think im ahead and hes likely to bluff the river as you have called the turn i take it you thought that you were ahead and if this is the case then you have to make the call on the river i think the check raise on the turn would have got you more info here though
