i'm an advocate for folding a lot to latter street raises in the 5/10 6 max party games but betting the river for value and folding to a raise isnt my idea of a good plan against an unknown opponent

i save this fold for the guys who i know have me beaten - even then i'm curious why i didnt hear from them before i bet the river on this board

so you bet/call or check behind?

also, do you really think the raise is a bluff often enough for my fold to be incorrect? It seems to me this is a very rare spot for people to bluff in....

bet/call, it's too likely he has Ax willing to call or a lower pocket pair. You won't be raised very often so choosing to call a raise shouldn't dissuade you from betting.

I think many people will play AK or KK this way, and both of those hands are consistent with his PF action.

nah, most people wouldn't slowplay AK to the river OOP. KK possibly but they would probably get a bet in somewhere to stop you from checking the river through.
