Is this a clear value bet?

[cmwck]

Villain is playing over 55% of his hands, and is unremarkable otherwise.

Who definitely bets the river?

I think there's probably a little bit of value there, but it's slim.

I'd value bet that river. Especially in a 4-handed game.

Against this particular villain a bet is certainly for value.

I would think against a tighter and passive player a check/call would be better.

If you think he'll call with a 9, bet. Otherwise check.

[deception5]

I'd bet.

Do it. If he's that loose preflop, he'll probably pay you off on the river too. Better reads are important here.

He could have a pocket pair, too.

I'd bet the river, unless he is tight and passive postflop, then I would check/call and not be surprised by an Ax
