Let´s hear your thoughts! Do we call here or do we fold? I think our opponents most likely holdings here are AJ, AQ, some random 8, or pure air. What is our play here?

- What's with the tiny sizing post flop?
- what do you have in villain's "pure air" range? if it's literally any two cards, then you have to call. if it's not, you should narrow it in your thought process (here)
Fold. Don't 4bet this hand PF either especially for this sizing.
Good answers. You know what? The first thing I notice when I see this river bet is that I should not be in this spot in the first place. So I have to decide which line is more terrible, check-call or check-fold. I hate both lines actually. I make the conclusion LordPoshington mentioned, so I swear loudly, take a deep breath, thinking that if my pf mistake will cost me my whole stack, I will deserve it. So I call. People tend to have strange hands in 4b pots, so I can´t rule out completely random ****. I also think my opponent might turn some lower pairs into bluff, like TT. My opponent shows ATs and loses the pot. Next time it will be just a call pf.
My small bets on the flop are mostly aimed against hands like 66-TT and maybe JTs. Those lowers pairs (expect TT) are usually call, but I think they might 3b them at times. In that case they probably should call a 4b with some of them.
