First off, normally I'd bet out on this flop but this villain has been bluffing a ton in this heads up match. After checkraising the turn, I'd put villain on an 8 or possibly a Q. The river basically kills my hand which was the nuts on the flop. Do I just check/call a small bet here and fold if he pushes? That would seem rather weak. The pot was so big compared to stacks, I wasn't sure what to do.
