Acy river

[inferno]

OTB is 50/9, att steal blinds 40

converter doesnt work blabla

everybody folds, otb raises, sb folds and I call with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in the BB
*** FLOP *** [2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]]
I c/r and he calls
*** TURN *** [6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]]
I bet he calls
*** RIVER *** [A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]]
I check

Fine so far, now call a bet.

Overs with a [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] are big enough part of his range and he will always try to rep the Ace if he has nothing.

Do you call the raise on the river if you bet out???
You certainly don't want to put two bets in on this river so c/c is best.

Betting the river would be horrible.

I don't think betting the river is horrible. Against villains who can read hands c/c turns our hand faceup and gets us valuetowned every time he has it because we can't fold. They won't bluff very often because our check screams c/c. Against a lot of people i like a bet to induce a desperation bluff from missed overcards/flushdraws without the ace. An ATS 40 OTB range has a lot of these.
Given the board and our river bet thinking players might even just call with a mediocre ace because we could have them reverse dominated or flushed.
Of course this is more generally speaking, against a 50/9 guy i c/c too.

1. I'd much rather be value-towned for 1BB than for 2BB.

2. It is much more likely that a villain will try to bet as a bluff than to raise as a bluff because betting as a bluff offers him a much better price than raising does (6:1 vs 7:2).

3. An ace is raising the river almost always.
