UTG is 40/20/0 in 10 hands. I'm confident that he's a fish/whale based on seeing the earlier hands, along with seeing him post a blind OOP when he joined. Not sure what's the best river play.

PokerStars - $2 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

SB: 292.97 BB
BB: 107.99 BB
UTG: 219.08 BB
CO: 113.15 BB
Hero (BTN): 100 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 8

UTG raises to 3 BB, fold, Hero calls 3 BB, fold, fold

Flop: (7.5 BB, 2 players) 7

UTG checks, Hero bets 2.43 BB, UTG calls 2.43 BB

Turn: (12.35 BB, 2 players) 8

UTG bets 4 BB, Hero raises to 21 BB, UTG calls 17 BB

River: (54.35 BB, 2 players) 5

UTG checks,

Bet small to induce and call it off and hope he doesnt have it this time.

That is not a four straight on the river. Or am I missing something? Yes six makes a straight but highly unlikely even a fish has that here. He could have JT but he can have all the sets two pairs and overpairs also. Bet big and call it off if needed. Don't think a random fish jams here anything as a bluff if you go small.

Any 6x is a straight.

You did say that didn't you? My bad.

IMO, any time you have a runout where 1 card makes a straight equates to 4 straight board. Certain boards you have 8 cards to consider, others is only 4. I could be wrong and would be happy to have someone correct me.
