Who bets the river for value? And who checks through like I did?

I'd bet just because it is less likely someone is calling down with King high than ace high.

Most of the time your opponents will have overcards, a pair of 8's or a busted straight draw. I would bet this river for value. The flush is a backdoor flush, so I would not worry too much about it.

At Party 0.50/1 you will always get called by a pair of 8's and frequently also overcards (to keep you honest). I'd say you are missing out on a lot of bets if you don't bet in these situations.

I'm not sure at all, but I would bet for value. You would definitely be called by a weaker hand here. The question is are there enough possible weaker hands with this board to warrent value betting....

Yeah, I think a value bet is called for here. In EP I might think of check/calling to induce a bluff, but I don't think you need to be all that worried about the flush or the K. You're unlikely to get raised by a K, anyway, who fears both the flush and a 6.

I would bet the river. If you are check/raised, it's unlucky.
