I think you have the best hand. If you don't, you have the best hand most of the time in this spot. He might not call you with A-high, so it's not like there's a ton of value in a river bet, but one plus is that when he folds he doesn't get to see your hand and he doesn't know you'll value bet 55 in situations like this.

Problem is, he could also have a hand like 66 or 88 and puts you on a 7. If so, checking behind obviously saves a bet. I sound like Nick C today, but I'm thinking a bet has more benefits than a check. Easy fold to an unlikely checkraise.
