Blocking bet on river here?

[AshleyC]

Other player was 21/19, AF of 4.

Do we check fold the river, or make some sort of blocking bet? At the river my stack size was approx $37. If I make a blocking bet of even $10, I will be getting about 3:1 if he pushes, giving me a real problem, even though I know that I don't really beat any hand that pushes. The timing and size of his bet when he made it really made me think that it was a bluff KT possibly or KQ knowing that it is unlikely good. I'm pretty sure that JQ makes more of a value bet wanting to be called, especially as there was a backdoor flush. As aggressive as he is I'm sure that he re-raises PF with JJ and QQ. J /images/graemlins/heart.gifQ /images/graemlins/heart.gif or K /images/graemlins/heart.gifQ /images/graemlins/heart.gif are possibilities but again doesnt he make a smaller river bet?

I think a blocking bet would be good here. If he pushes over it, I really wouldn't have a problem folding even with the great odds unless you had some other read.

Thinking more about this hand, should I check the turn for pot control and then then make a value bet on the river if he checks behind?

No!

A bazzillion draws out. Bet while your hand is good.

And on the river a bazzillion draws just came in. Fold this, no worries.

I might raise the rvr but for sure fold to a raise he could have a lot of things that have you beat. I might of PSB the turn to see if he really has a hand or is just drawing.
