PLO100 on b2b. I have 100, opponent has me covered. He seems to be a typical b2b player on the decent side. will bluff and be aggressive. occasional preflop raise. nothing really stupid but i'm not too impressed either but i only just got to the table.

I have 9 K in the bb. 2 limpers including villain utg.

Flop comes [Td]9

So i have bottome set with mediocre flush draw. I decide to check it since i'm out of position. give them a chance to bluff and bet a wide variety of hands. villain bets pot of 3.50. Folds to me, i call.

turn is low blank

He bets pot of 10.50 after i check, i call.

River is offsuit K. I check call his 15 euro bet. Thoughts? If you were to show aggression or fold, where? If you lead out the flop, get raised, do you fold? If you get called on flop and raised on turn, do you drop then or keep going?

The 1/2 bet on the end feels like a AT/A9 that doesn't like the K or a busted flush draw. I think calling him down here is ok.

the thing is, this is b2b and these people love to get tricky. they raise with all sorts of draws, call with sets to raise you later. call with a pair and a gutshot and raise you later so if i bet out and he calls or raises, i'm still unsure where i am.

pot the flop, that's where you'll find out where you are

well, i might not find out where i was by leading out as he might just call and raise the turn.

He had AAJ7 with J7 diamonds so he had me out setted and overflushed. I could have lost less if I led out and he raised, but with the hand he had and how b2b players play, I think he would have called the flop to make a move on the turn. Folding there to a blank would seem weak but I guess prudent. I could have loss less but I could have lost a lot more.

Well, I guess at least you can mark him down as a goon who'll let you catch up when he has a monster...

I would lead out on the flop and go from there. I'm not going to lose too much sleep over dropping this hand and would probably rather do that to aggression than take a passive line to get to showdown.
