1. His range is wide as a "gambling type" vs. pre-flop action.
2. His "legit" range includes hands like A5ss, which would CR turn and CF river.
3. Because he is gambler, I think you are obliged to plan Bet-call if he CRs.
I love thin river value bets on principle, but this does seem too thin, IMO.
This is a classic "any pair and ace high will call" situation

that would be a disaster. 88 is somewhere between thin value and a home run valuebet depending on what kind of "gambling type" villain is, so any 9 is a massive home run for the same reason plus you're blocking 9s
