no

an 8 might have been too scared to bet..

I never know what to do here. Nothing seems right. Checking all the way through seems dumb, yet I do it, because I don't know what else to do. A bet on the river seems weird, too. It seems like someone always feels obligated to bet on the river at this point no matter what they have because of all the [censored] checks up to this point.

I don't know, maybe a bet/fold on the flop? Yeah, it's a bluff, but you might just win outright there. If it doesn't work (or isn't correct), then once again, I'm lost and would like to know what others think.

Guys, this is a pretty easy value check.
