Default Thin river value HU ($1/1)

We've been playing HU for about half an hour but villain is significantly mixing up his play with some pure bluffs, semibluffs and thin value-bets. He seems to be adjusting better than me and putting me under lots of pressure, but he will stack off far too light (i.e. he seems to be bet/3betting for pot with any draw + pair on almost any board). I've not seen him turn into a callstation OOP here and am wondering whether he's trapping me, or whether he's just wanting to call me down with K9 or something. I figure that if he's got K9 he'll be willing to call almost a full pot-size bet as he is very willing to put me on missed draws, but I just got the feeling on the river he was trying to play A9 for pot control OOP. Who finds a river value-bet?

Definitely no value bet on this river... hoping he calls you with K9 is retarded tbh... plus do you feel you're ahead of his calling range when you bet the turn?

I normally check behind here. This depends a lot on how you've been playing and how your opponent views your play.

god learn to convert properly! 1$ and 1$ blinds and you raise to 1.65!? :-)

But seriously, i would 90% of the time check here as the chances that he had a busted draw also and wont call are high and if that aint the case he may have you beat
rarely will he call with worse hand, and checking you can gain info on him by seeing what he has, another reason to just check

This could be a good bet call something like 10-15. His line strongly indicates he wouldnt c/r a9 hands here and u will give him 1 more oportunity to bluff and get some value if he make hero/potodds call.

would a decent player really play K9 like this? I just check. I think you're behind enough here and he is hardly ever calling river when ur ahead.

scratch that he doesnt have any draw, check behind, considering he doesn't have nfd you can also check turn behind safely and snap a river bluff from him.
