River Raise?
 

Should I value bet the river or be content with the current pot? This player has made very questionable aggressive plays earlier on pocket threes with powerful board, what do you usually do against players like this?

I check through.

If he was pushing an aggressive semi, your bet has little value. If he has a monster, you're paying 2. I don't think the balance of his range is big enough even against this vaguely crazy guy, and it's a rare bird indeed who will sng cr with a marginal value hand.

I don't really see him paying you off much here with things you beat. Check is good, IMO.

Yeah, he ended up having KJ.

Checking through I think was correct here, and him having KJ is just as good, thats a very +EV note you have on him now.

Yeah he's a good one.

He was just an awful player with a huge stack at the table. Makes me wonder if he was fooling around or just that bad.
