There are no draws on the board so he either has a weak pair of tens or overcards. He open limped PF as well.

Do I bet the river? I feel that I lose a lot of times to A-high or low pair if I don't. Will he fold A-high? I don't know.

Final Pot: 7.25 BB

With A high, I check the river. With K high, I bet hoping to fold A high.

I might have checked the turn and folded the river unimproved. Against most players you'll often get the free showdown when you are ahead. This pot is small and your win-at-all-costs approach may be more expensive than it's worth.

Alternatively if you knew that Villain would auto-bluff the river then a turn check is still good. You'll make more money scooping bluffs than pushing 6-outers off this little pot.

Betting the turn is strong against a player who will call the flop and then fold a weak ace. Assuming he can even have an ace for his preflop play.

This hand is much too good to bet the river. He will not fold 1/7 of the time that he has a better hand. If he called the turn with ace high then he's probably planning to call again. You are ahead of most hands that he folds.

I agree. 95% of those that call the turn here with a weak ace will call that river as well.

I knew I overplayed my hand up to the turn but I felt I was right to bet the river. Well not anymore after your and Grisgra's reply. Great advice!
