Default A real WTF spot 200bbs deep vs Brandon Cantu

So villain is Brandon Cantu, a 'blue' Cereus pro. I've never played with him or really know anything about him, but being well known I assume he's had some sort of poker success, be it tournys or whatever.

On the turn I'm clearly behind any value range, and I think the question comes down to whether he cares in the slightest about repping anything if/ when bluffing. I guess if I'm folding the river I should fold the turn nom?

Cereus, $2.00/4.00 Hold'em Cash Games, 4 Players
Hand Converter by Pokerhand.org

Board:
HERO (Button): $889
BRANDONCANTU (UTG): $1,912.80
BUDYLOVE (UTG+1): $1,038.50
8CANTSEEME8 (CO): $318.05

Dealt to HERO 5 2

Pre-flop:
(1 folds), HERO raises to $16, BRANDONCANTU calls $14, BUDYLOVE calls $12

Flop: ($48) 5 J T (3 Players)
BRANDONCANTU checks, BUDYLOVE checks, HERO checks

Turn: ($48) 5 (3 Players)
BRANDONCANTU bets $40, (1 folds), HERO raises to $120, BRANDONCANTU raises to $280, HERO calls $200

River: ($648) T (2 Players)
BRANDONCANTU bets $692, HERO calls $552

I'd fold the river. He might have rivered the flush. As I know flush>fullhouse on Absolute.

i mean, he is a retard, so it probably isn't that bad. id probably shove turn though cause he is liable to raise/call with kq here.

looks fine, i think you are sometimes splitting and very rarely up against JJ or quads, and usually up vs random spaz

what if he has a flush?? I've seen helmuth winning with a flush vs fh on absolute and I assume their pros can do the same...

Insta call.... positions are kind of messed up, but still I would call.

Never played with him but for what I've seen he is a very FPS player so I'm not folding anything strong against him.
