I don't think any worse hands bet the river in this case for the same reasons you suggest that he would probably check through the turn without a strong hand. On the river though, I expect to be called by any pair.

Hmm. You do make sense that's for sure. I'd need my Theory of Poker here, which I don't have at the moment, to check the sections on river play. I'll have to come back to this later - probably to see that somebody has already answered this.

I was so dead certain that leading the river would be bad and that checking it might still induce a bluff but I'm not so sure now. Thanks for forcing me to think it over.

Thank you too for the help. Finding a consensus certainly will point us in the right direction.

The hole in the logic I suppose is that we're analyzing the river in a vacuum when we say bet-fold is as much an option as check-fold. Because, if the turn was a fold, certainly the river is a c-fold too. It's hard to imagine TT betting here, for example, after we check.
