do you ever check this river?

EDIT: obviously i usually bet here, i just thought that this was a more interesting question than how much (since i think there are so many reasons why i'd bet so many different amounts).

i dont usually check this river personally, as I'm pretty darn sure he has one pair and probably will not bet it. Theres not very many two pair hands he can have to pay off, and I think I already wouldv'e heard from the hands that beat me.

right. he may not bet his AQ/KQ, and the few times he does bet, say 500-ish, he usually folds to a c/r. so the issue is whether to valuebet 5-700 or so, or to push. he only has a psb remaining in his stack; if he calls a push just half the time you make more money than him calling 700 80% of the time.

well, he has a Q... likely w/ a busted heart draw... bet 500-600 and let him look you up.

how often do you think a push gets called by QT-AQ? I guess its tough with no reads as the donkeys might call alot, the average/bad tighties never call (but might call 500), and the good/thinking players will sometimes but usually not call.

Also, its not like I can rep a busted draw (and he likely didnt have a draw) so i guess that pushes it towards a smaller bet. I cant see him having a hand to bluff with here other than a total flop steal that turned into a two-way draw.
