I think I played this hand poorly and my shove on river was risky but it paid off. How could I have played this differently?

Any stats/reads on villain??

Against an unknown I fold the turn

Weird hand. Looks to me a lot like villain hit whacky two pair on the flop. 54s maybe.

If you get it in anyways... why not shove turn?

very weird hand
Looking at it now it seems villain is bluffing himself, but honestly im folding turn

Poor bluff IMO. Unless you had some big reads/history. For all we know he is Check/calling that river with his A9. Your hand looks exactly like a draw since you didn't reraise or anything neither on the flop nor on the turn on such a draw heavy board. And you would check behind with 9T or something similar on the river.

Sounds to me that he is on a draw himself, maybe Ahxh. but river bluff is bad IMO.
