This is always a conundrum. Many "draws" won't fold to a bet anyway, and with several pair+ draws which puts you in the position of playing an inflated pot oop (to one V) in a situation where there are a LOT of bad rivers. If the river is a brick or even a marginally good card for you and you're facing a large bet, are you still confident V is now bluffing a missed draw?
Flip side is that passing up what is likely a clear equity advantage if often going to leave money on the table when (if) you ultimately get to showdown AND you are blocking SO many realistic draws...
Tough one. River is probably a fold though for reasons that have been mentioned.
