3/6 - Value bet this river with KK?
 

I figured after he checked the turn my hand was good. Then the river came. I figured he had an A here because of his 3bet pf. So I guess my question is, is value-betting this river justified? I'm probably only beating TT-QQ right?

Villain was 29/18/2 over ~50 hands...

Doesn't look like he 3-bet preflop. If he did, then that changes things somewhat.

When he checks the river, I don't think he's raising the ace if he has one. He's also probably calling with TT/JJ because he can put you on 88 or K9s. I also don't see how his flop play has much to do with an ace unless he's got A6. A4, or A9. So I would not put him on an ace, and even though I don't like seeing the river card, I wouldn't hesitate to bet it.

pretty standard bet here

Re: 3/6 - Value bet this river with KK?
 

Yeah my bad. He didn't 3-bet, I had thought he did. Thanks for the input.

Re: 3/6 - Value bet this river with KK?
 

No!! He's calling you on the river with A8.

out of position, I would certanly bet, but if he then raise I would fold, in position, I might check behind.

Having position is an even better reason to bet.

He's checked to you. A lot of aces would bet here fearing lost value. I think this is an easssssy bet.
