BB checks, Hero ?

Bet/Call, Bet/Fold or check behind? I put him on overs when I didn't hear from him strongly on the turn. Comments?

THanks,

I'd bet fold here. Actually he'll be more aggr. with mid pocket pairs. Will villain call with A high here?

bet/fold. I put villian on overcards as well.

Check behind. It's rare he'll call with a worse hand -- 10% of the time, at most. If you get raised, you're very likely to make a FTOP mistake that's larger than 0.1BB.

Then check behind. I don't think he's calling this river much with an AQ.

But I'd still bet it because you'll probably get calls from mid pocket pairs.

This is WAY too conservative. You'd be shocked the stuff people will call with here. Any pocket pair, worse 9s, and even some things like AQ and AJ will call here. People don't like folding anything in heads-up pissing contests.

The only thing I'm worried about here is villain hitting the K. But, he'd often bet that for fear of you checking behind.

So I think we have a pretty clear value bet here.
