Standard, right ?
anyone checks behind the river here?
Wtsd is 35% and I think I could have value vs A-x, my kicker is good

With worse Aces I would check behind the river I think

I don't know if I can fold here. Don't know if it's a leak or not.

I'm calling - you don't have to be ahead often at all. He might have Ax thinking you were barrelling a pocket pair, or he might have missed his draw and be trying to bluff you off. OK its not likely, but likely enough imo given the pot odds.

imo, call and lose. If you are folding these type of hands, you are folding too much at river and a good player or a bad lucky player can use this against you.

I understand, but against a predictable player i still like bet/fold here.
I dont know if he is very predictable or not, but I assume this (I could be wrong of course

)

Folding is fine against a predictable player. I'd check worse Aces against someone with a low wtsd. 48 hands is not nearly enough of a sample though. 1000 hands is a bit of a better indicator. w$@sd paired with wtsd may give you a better indication over a smaller sample size.

Against this guy I think the correct play it to bet/fold, however I usually bet/call.

How about a c/c here? unless you think he'll call with with 55-88, this a pretty good bluff inducing card. B/c kinda sucks, because I can't imagine you are good often.

c/c gets you no money vs. 88

no, you aren't. when you get c/r on this board by a passive villain, he has Kx way more than 90% of the time

if you have a read that your opponent is capable of c/r bluff the river with air, then call.

I've played hundreds of thousands of hands in my life, and when this player c/r you on this board, you lose
