BB is unknown but looking a bit fishy. Should we c/c this river hoping to induce from missed club draws or gutters/hoping to maybe get a better hand to check, or should we bet for value against worst A highs/K highs/who knows?

Against a fish c/c is standard for me. Against a decent player i bet for value.

So c/c?

FWIW i assume unknowns are fish.

Usually if I'm going to call a river bet oop I will b/f over c/c as it goes in better to the in position player. However since we really would like to get to showdown and this is perhaps a fishy player how as shown no aggression. Hopefully he will check it back and show us K high. Also we have no real clue his range here, I really doubt a bluff is in his range so maybe c/f is best. But I'm going to c/c and at least get the note and know what to do on the next play. Hate those passive fish on the left.

I don't like betting into 55 here and letting KT/QJ fold. If he is a fish, he will do what he does best and check.

I am in the check/x camp. For me x = 60% call/40% fold depending on his AF.

since the board is so peel friendly i like to keep his range wide with a c/c and hope he stabs with stuff like Q9/T6s in addition to other missed draws. Maybe stuff like A2s would also check behind.
