River Bet-Fold/Check-Call

[WillyTrailer]

Every time I bet-fold a river online I just cringe inside. I have no problems doing this live where I feel I have a better read but I'm not terribly comfortable. Here I think check-calling is good because Villain is a 24/8 player with an aggression factor around 1.5, but his river aggression is at about 1.75; he's more aggressive on the river than all other streets. I also see some merit in bet-folding.

In general, I dislike the idea of possibly being moved off the best hand on the river when I could have seen a showdown for the same amount of money I put in the pot anyway.

How do you guys play it?
