i think you can safely fold the river unless this guys bluffs left and right with four overcards to your pocket pair. if you fear he's bluffing the ace, you could raise the turn and hope for a free showdown (unimproved, of course).

nice raise preflop and bet on the flop.

I wanna check that flop. You have the wrong end.

I wanna fold that river, even moreso since there is one player all in against you, gunning for most of the pot.

I am folding this river

I would raise the turn with your position, then fold the river to a bet. The ace is a scare card, but It can beat you too.

why? it's HU and Sb just woke up on the turn? what are you trying to do?

i wouldn't have bet the flop. we're not protecting our hand here which probably isn't best, and we have the wrong end of a possible straight.

Wrong place to get too aggressive - on the flop you have the stupid end of the open end and are looking at 3 overcards. On the turn when the ace drops and villain bets I go home.

Hero has been the aggressor the entire hand.

Find out how far behind I am.

I would raise KQs in this situation preflop, what makes you think the SB flopped a str8?

Raising the turn to find out how far behind you are is a huge waste of bets. Being bet into on the turn is info enough.

Guy checks the flop and bets a very scary board into your 4th pair. That tells you all you need to know about how far behind you are.
