Villain is completely unknown. Once he checks back turn I can't see him bluffing this river like ever so I think we have to lead for value even though we're expecting him to fold a ton. In game I went for a small lead (65ish) thinking that it'd be easier for him to call with Ace and maybe an occasional Queen high. Looking back I think a bigger sizing (115?) would probably have been better as it looks bluffier and also obv only has to work half as often.

Thoughts? Is anyone checking and hoping villain bluffs or decides to bet an ace?

def betting, Id bet ~90

i'd prob bet 80 or 120, not sure what's better.

With t100 you can't go wrong

well you could go a little wrong

125 of your finest chips.

Tbh, I would sometimes (mostly without history on villain) jam it and rep one of the million busted draws out there and make him hero call it with Ax. Than again, I would also do the same with my busted draws in that spot sometimes aswell as Kx 9x hands. It helps your image, puts him in a tough spot with Ax and you start creating some dynamic. If he calls with Ax he's most likely to get frustrated (people tend to get really frustrated once their hero call fails), if he somehow calls and you show a busted draw he will mark you as a fish and next time you will know what he thinks of you and will be able to play your FH for max value shoving there.

Than again, I maybe be overthinking and betting 80-120 seems fine aswell.

Would love to hear some opinions on shoving our hand in this spot as it looks interesting (atleast to me)

well I think overbetting is bad because most likely he wants to fold

I'd bet 80, get value from Ax/Qx. Lots of Qx and worse might call 80 but are probably folding to 100+.

yeah bet like half pot

t90

t91

with 90 you rarely ever induce and you dont get max value. so either bet small or go big like 140-160 and let him herocall.

Why would you induce that river? Its been a long time since i´ve seen an opponent bluffshove those kind of rivers. Bluffshoving just doesnt rep anything here imo. SB never acted so he is neither going to show up with a huge hand on river nor is he willing to ship just you bet small.

But im really interested what others here think about the possibility of a small bet inducing villain, if it would work?

80 looks like a value bet, 90 like a bluff.
