I'd check-call the river.

my reasoning for betting river was that i thought he would usually pay off with something like jacks up or tens up, and i didnt think he would raise without trips or better

I totally agree, the key to this hand is your board - were it weaker with the aces up you could check call since it would be easier to induce a bluff and you would have to call a raise. Unless your oppponent is a reckless idiot, you can bet/fold with confidence with such a strong 2-way board.

[Brad1970]

I'd check/call the river if I thought I had a possible winner but fully expecting to lose. It's only 1 more bet. If you fold, he gets the entire pot without a fight & without showing his cards.

But, what do I know. I haven't seriously played hi/lo in probably 15 years. So, I'm a little rusty.

[HOWMANY]

I'd call the river and lose. Your method of folding the losing hand is probably more profitable.

[Lt Barclay]

i check the river hoping to induce a bet from two pair and avoid any possibility of a raise.

as played, i probably call the raise expecting to lose, but hoping he's trying to make some sort of move with two pair and also to see what kind of hand he cold called on 3rd with and called to the river against your board, cause i don't think i like villian's line here.

[Bartholow]

If you're already pretty sure you don't like villain's play, why do you need to call and see what he has?

[Lt Barclay]

well, like i said, it's not the main reason i would call, but the info is a bonus i can use to exploit his play in the future.
