Total pot: (15.15 BB)

Does anyone ever bet this river? It seemed like everyone's board cards were so dead and I would have bet it HU no problem but I was worried somebody could either have me beat or seat 8 would raise giving me a really annoying decision. Oh and I know 6th is really bad.

Heads-up with Seat 8 I’d say yes. But with an unknown in the hand, I’d check as well.

I think I bet 6th st(for value) However I think I'm happy to take the free showdown.

Sixth is probably worth a bet. Who knows, maybe someone will fold. There's a pretty good chance that you still have the best hand, and you can always buy help on the river if you don't. If you bet sixth, they'll probably check to you on the river even if they make something, so you can take a free showdown and avoid a tough decision. In this case, I'd definitely take the free showdown.
