River value bet?

I'm really suprised by the responses. I always thought I was a pretty aggressive value bettor, but this seems like an easy check to me.

Given the action, I highly doubt he has a King, there are like 0 two pair combos, and there really aren't any spadeless 9x hands that should be peeling this flop. I guess A5 is a possibility.

If the river was an A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], I'm definitely value betting, but thats really the only spade I'd be willing to bet

he usually has you beat when he calls that flop

with an unknown at .5/1 (or even 5/10) I really doubt that is true

I think the 3rd spade on the turn means we should be betting to get value from any unpaired spade hand. also we have a redraw vs better pairs now. I will check this with stove when I get home

river is an easy VB for reasons people have already mentioned

Plenty of Kx and pp's in his range.

The fact that he didnt donk indicates he doesnt have a spade

I agree...This is the one thing thats throwing me off, but I've never played in these games so I don't know what the norm is for these guys. It really wouldn't suprise me to see a .5/1 donk go for the river c/r in this spot w/ a big [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
