Meh, I'd go with a read.It's really only better to check the river if he'll bet with a worse hand, ie missed fd.The only thing with this particular hand, is you only beat pocket pairs, missed fd, and worse Qs.Since the board paired the 3rd card, I think I prefer a river c/c.

This doesn't really seem like a king, and with a hand as strong as ours here (and our hand is pretty strong given the action) I'll bet and fold to a raise. He has to be suicidal to raise with anything less than a 9, and we would've heard from a K earlier. If this is obviously a draw based on playing style, then it's obviously a check. But his calling range here is probably bigger than we think. If he's calling down with a Q, K or some other pair/a-hi, our expectation is better if we bet (assuming he bets his kings here if we check to him, which is a very reasonable assumption). We can safely fold to a raise, so I like to bet.Wang

I bet unless he's shown signs of odd/trickynormal player, bet/fold
