Hi!

How do you play this type of hands on the river? With which hands would you check/call on the river? Would you value bet thin with low pairs against A high?

Sometimes I'm really tempted to just overbet the river since I can still have any 8x in my range and my opponent can't.

Thanks!

Im never folding a pair here. U can call some stronger ace highs too, and fold your weakest ace highs while turning some into bluff checkraises to balance the times u do that with 8x.

Im not sure what to think abt the small riverbet. I find that people will often just bet smaller to induce bluffraises but without a good sense of how he plays its hard to make any exploitive plays.

Checkcall: A2, K2s, 5x, 33-77, AT, A9

Checkraise: A7? A6?

Checkfold: A3/A4

Im not going to do any detailed counting but this is how i would roughly approach this spot
