Can't say I really love it. Seems like you're going to be putting in a good amount when behind, but this isn't really a draw heavy board, so there's not much sense in villain bluffing that river too often.

I would also bet the flop more often than not.

[Maulik]

I would bet that flop. I'm not sure I would call that river, that's a big bet.

Flops check isnt too bad, but i think a turn raise is in order.

I fold the river here because your line looks like a slowplay and he doesn't seem to care.

[TheWorstPlayer]

I don't know. I think you could have QQ, JJ, KQ, KJ here which villain could be trying to move you off of. That would be consistent with your flop and turn play and his river bet. I like hero's line.

[creedofhubris]

River bet is a lot to call for a chop.

That is my thought as well, considering that is the only thing you have unless he has air.

you are pretty screwed here. id fold the river given you got there as you did.

the decision to check the flop, call a turn bet, and value bet the river if he checks and fold if he bets is usually not a bad line with a top pair of aces, but i dont like it here. there arent too many hands you can value bet the river with if he checks, so there isnt much upside to the check/call/bet line. you chop vs the only hand you want to use this line against.

id rather forget about extracting the max vs a lower 1 pair and just try to take it down on the flop and move on.

pot the flop !
