I call the turn, but when he keeps coming on the river, I think we have to fold.

It's probably Ongame's HH that is making the mistake. A lot of sites still list stakes as if it were a limit game instead of just listing the blinds like you would for a NL game. The only thing that's confusing is the .30/.60 part, the rest of the HH is fine.

If you use Holdem Manager it would auto convert all your HH's to Party Poker format, but I don't know about PT3.

Anyway, yeah, I would just pitch this with the ass-end straight on a paired board unless you've got a strong read.

I think you are going to see the Q an awful lot here or perhaps even 89 from a steal attempt. I also call one one the trun with the intention of folding to sizeable strength on the river. Not sure if his story is entirely consistent though as the river bet seems a bit large to be for value unless he thinks you are a station and will call anyway.

Going by the stack sizes though you have been doing well so why give him your money for the bad-end of the straight. If folding here is a mistake then it is only a small one.

you only beat a bluff which is unlikely = standart fold.

I would say fold, most likely he will show you the Q if you call.
