Good point. What happens if hero bets raises the turn to be "stop & goed" (yes, I am an English masta!). Do you call the river bet?
Wouldn't the number of bets put in be the same as pokergrader's line when we're ahead and we get a showdown?

Its a tough decision, but against an unknown I would call.
It is also one of the reasons I like raising the river if you want to raise. If you raise the turn he can fold a worse hand and 3-bet a better one, forcing you to fold. If you raise the river, you can get that extra value from a final semi-bluff and fold to a 3-bet with even more ease than on the turn.
I feel like more often that not this hand goes something like this:
bet/call
bet/call
check/bet/call
With villian showing 88-QQ or AQ
Because if the hand goes like this:
bet/call
bet/call
bet/???
Now I am putting villian more squarly on the AK,KK-AA range and might just want to call the river. However, raise/fold also seems acceptable to me. I would like to see his cards though, because this hand is a hell of a lot easier to figure out with reads...
