Re: Value Betting an unexpected top set on the river
I'd raise preflop because of position. You still have 2 players behind you. You want the button.
Because one of his likely marginal hands is QJ -- which just "got there" to a degree -- I bet. If you check it to him and he has QJ, he'll just check behind. By betting your missing the opportunity to get him to bluff a busted straight, but since since a big part of his range just turned in to a made hand which you beat, you're better off value betting here than trying to induce. So bet half pot.
