Call me weak, but I'd check it through when the second overcard hits. You have shown enough aggression that I would think it less likely for a lesser hand to call your river bet.

I'd check and expect to lose. If he did hit a J on the river he will most certainly call, but won't bet it out due to the A coupled w/ your preflop 3bet. Hope you won it.

Hi Your Toast,

I think that you are on the edge here, with a tough decision. It may very well be that the SB has an Ace with a bad kicker, but his play isn't inconsistant with someone who has decided to call you down with a mid sized pocket pair, that you can beat. I think that your decision has to be made based on your knowledge of the player involved. If I don't know him at all, I am going to check here and showdown, so that I at least get to see his hand, and learn one hand that he plays this way.

Good Luck,
Play Well,

Bob T.
