I bet all rivers. Checking twice is too clear a signal that you intend to call. He's unlikely to make a mistake. Bet the river and hope to be called by AK, JJ, TT...

Obviously, checking twice is unlikely to induce a bluff on blank rivers, but A-high hands are unlikely to call a bet. The types of hands that will call the river will also probably value bet if checked to twice, and may pay off a checkraise cause the line looks so wonky.

In my experience, people call with ace-high unimproved all the time, feeling that they have induced a bluff from you, the "busted flush draw".

Check-raising blanks is an intriguing concept, but I feel the missed bets from ace-high don't make up for the extra bets from JJ.

my 2 cents.
