I'd have checked turn - I don't see top pair weak kicker as a 3 street hand or one for playing a big pot with. Then bluff catch call river bet if that is your read on him.

Doesn't V have a tonne of weaker one-pair hands, hands w/ a 10 or J in them, + overcards? I think charging these hands with a lot of equity on the turn, and checking back a lot of rivers is the play to make, as not only do we get the benefit of extracting value from weaker hands, we also get to protect our hand. By checking back turn we allow all of these hands w/ decent equity to see a free card, in the hopes that sometimes he might bluff?
Do you suggest checking back rivers or going for some value (value I assume) - going for you're two streets on the flop & turn is definitely the more clear play IMO.
Can you elaborate suggested play based on his range?
