Good questions... but be warned. :)
If you're following this thread, you should know two things about my poker advice.
1) I absolutely hate the concept of "doing something for info". That's just bad poker. You should choose an action because it has value.
2) I hate the, why did you call turn if you folded river thing I often here from poker players. An opponents range changes on every street based on their actions. So betting a big draw, etc... will still be in someone's range on the turn. However, not everyone bluffs that busted draw after being called down 2 streets.

That's just a simple example, but in this exact hand, we're ahead of his turn betting range. You're calling because we don't know what he's doing on the river. Our opponents action and sizing if they bet dictate a call/fold/raise. If he bet $4 for example, we're calling. If he bets $6.5+, we're folding. I think the average river aggression in no-limit holdem is something like 21%. If that's the case, why would you think our opponent is betting for sure, and that betting range has enough bluffs? What bluffs do you think he's going to have here?

I'll get you started KsQs, AsQs, AsKs, AsJs, QJs (2 combos)... that's 6 combos of bluffs. We have at least 35 value bet combos. What else do you want to add?
