Re: Trips river check line
As played I think it's a fold against a complete unknown. You would expect his range to be fairly polarized here normally, and I'm not willing to give an unknown credit for over-bet shoving the river as bluff, which means his range is heavily weighted towards straights and flushes.
For that reason, I agree that it's probably better to make a value bet than to check here, since there's really no reason to expect him to value-bet worse hands after you check, but he might call. 1/2 pot or so seems good to me, and fold to a shove.
