Live £1/£1 at Manchester 235 and pretty sure this is an easy fold but just want to get opinions..

Villain is a poor LAG who's limped pre 90% of hands up to now, a lot of his limp-call pre range is K5o etc and most hands he's won without showdown, he's shown top pair/top 2 etc, doesn't seem to run crazy bluffs.

We straddle, 4 callers and we check with 56o, villain is in the small blind.

Flop is  villain checks and we lead for £7 into £10, 3 callers including villain.

Turn  and we lead for £25, two mid positions fold and villain calls.

River  three diamonds - villain jams £244 into £90 pot. (we cover)

Does he ever have diamonds here, like  ? Does he have 24? Or has he missed a spade draw?

Can we ever call and win?

This is a really clear fold.

You only need to call with ~27% of your range to prevent villain profitably bluffing. 65 is nowhere near the top 27% of your range, considering you have bet twice into the field in a multiway pot.

That's the theory... but in practice you should tend to fold more than 63% of your river range, because villain is very unlikely to be bluffing enough. Which means making exploitative 'tight folds' is likely to be best.

74o 74dd and JT are much more likely that 24 as discribed he could have alot of 2 pair hands and back door flush draws too

i think its an easy fold catch him when you have a stronger hand
