Re: Cap This River?
If I'm the villain, I'd be 3-betting the flop with A5, 54, 52, 42, maybe 43, any overpair (though they should have been raised PF heads up.) All those hands (expect big overpairs) are very vulnerable on this board. I believe you're safe on this river.
I'd expect to see top-two pair with a big kicker. You didn't react to the 8...so he probably believes it didn't help you and he's punishing you for a draw.
Save for the raise pre-flop and on the flop, I like the way you played it.
