I disagree. We don't need a strong value bet, all we need is a value bet. Villian has already shown down trash once, he is in the big blind and will call any 8, any 5, and a lot of little pairs. With hero raising preflop and betting on a river ace, I don't think he'll get bluff raised off a better hand often since I think most people will be expecting hero to call a river raise. I think its a thin value bet, but with the previous hand, I think there is value there.
