How do we play the river here?

waynec

No real read on my victim but he was playing well, tag, and most def had Js to As or AK/AQ but with the raise size put him on AK.

His check on the flop was a real puzzle after such a big 3bet and sort of dry with only a draw for AK

How should I play it to get max on river, I am never checking but how much do I bet to get paid the max?

He obviously doesnt have much, just put out a really small value bet hope to get paid by AK AQ or he might see it as weak and raise.

bet at least £4

if you think he has JJ+, AQ+ i would check

Ship it and get snapped by JJ.

I don't mind idea of check raising flop but you HAVE to bet turn once he checks behind, it doesn't matter that you have quads you need to get paid and you don't get paid by checking and then betting once all draws have missed on river.

As played I pretty much just pot it, the 3bet he's made pre is MASSIVE so could easily have overpair thinking he's trapping.

Dont like giving free showdowns so i make it anywhere between half pot to pot sized. Owt between £2.75 and £4 might get paid but i doubt it the way its gone.

I dont think he is that strong here, if he had a big pocket pair he would bet flop, he prob has something like A,K or A,Q but i still think we need to bet for value. If he is trapping with JJ, you'll get the lot regardless.

I agree about the turn not checking but I was sure he would bet if I check as from reads from early hands.

As it turned out I did not need to worry about how to get paid the poor guy had JJ, I bet half pot and he came over the top with his entire stack! I posted this because I was at a total loss as what to bet on the river and had he not had JJ how could I have got paid, so thanks to all for your comments.
