It's annoying but i think we just have to shove at this spr vs shorty
He doesn't bet enough if we X, and we can't really x/f, We need him to call with AQ/AK which is possible but not a lot
Size down turn better, or x/jam

Just out of interest - why are you check jamming turn here? Shouldn’t hero be keeping villains range wider? Surely it’s already super narrow so isn’t the jam just folding out all villains bluffs?
I like check folding river. In my opinion check folding this is the most likely line to exploit villain and worst case scenario it's not that bad. Like ripping I think is bad. Very difficult to be called by worse. Blocking I guess is fine but it's kind of inducing with a hand we don't want the heat with. Like block folding seems unnecessary when we probably only have like 50% equity when called and block calling is also eh. Check calling is in my opinion 2nd best line but there is just a lot of value and so vs most villain I'm just not going to give them credit for finding the overbluff.

Fish will overstab with thin value and draws when we x, and overcall when we shove. x/c also fine to BC river, because that should be overbarreled with weaker stuff (not sure about this one, but generally). I'm undecided on which is best/higher EV, but that's the theory
Thanks for the answers. Result...
Hero bets 60.7 BB and is all-in, UTG calls 56.2 BB and is all-in

Hero wins 183.4 BB
I don't like the sizings. Preflop is too big, flop is too small (1/2 - 2/3). Then 1/2 turn and you will be left with 50-60% on the river. I don't see a possibility to value bet this river. What are the hands that are gonna call, AQ/AJ? We block both combos heavily. AK is also discounted, cause sometimes it is a 4-bet. So what are we left with, maybe JTs? Check/call is the only thing that could be considered, but remember - you are playing against EP, the tightest range.
