Playing 6 tables 25NL yesterday some interesting hands. This was one of them.

Not a lot of hands on vilain( 60h) but seems a bit splashy and agressive on the BU.

Hero?

What are we trying to get value from on the river? I think if we're betting it's at least partially to induce so I'm more inclined to call this. Villain's value is A5 and 88, their bluffs are all the Broadway combos.


I'm back and forth checking the turn or betting small to get value from his Ax and keeping the value portion of our betting range from being too nutted.

Thanx for your response.
I didn't want to bet on the turn because all his nutted hands were still in and he could check raise me.
After his river check, most of his nutted hands were no longer present. Given his splashy and aggressive play, I thought a small river bet could accomplish two things. A call with an inferior hand such as Ax and rarely a better pair. Or an all inn shove with some nutted hands like A5, 55, 88 and a lot of bluffs. Either way I tought it was the most profitable line.
