Your last sentence is very important. In general I believe you should match strength against their weakness, both the strength of better postflop equity and the strength of position. So even though they rate to have not much but will bet anyway, I believe folding marginal hands still is best OOP. And returning again to the matter of the math question and whether you should call the river, again not being able to get checked rivers OOP with him makes playing marginal hands even worse. Because now he will not only bet bluffs that you can beat, but also very bad made hands that better players would check behind with, like a pair just above your bottom pair.
