How about barreling this river? I'm talking about being commited, and the likelihood that villain will call given board and plethora of missed draws.

He's never folding a pair here, you have showdown value, just check.

All day long. Check river as played.

standard cbet flop imo.

of course check river as played. . cbet most likely buys a free turn then we may be able to either bluff river, vbet river, or just value check down and win with A high. see how the turn bet leaves you so stuck here.

Just noticed in another post that you limped your BB with a weakish hand. Here, you 4x-raised with an ace. If I notice that someone raises with strong hands and limps weak hands, it makes it really easy to play against them postflop. For instance, if he raises and then checks behind on a 7-high board, he likely has two big cards so I can value bet my small pair and call his bluffs.Obviously, I am going off of two hands that I have seen of yours so maybe you were just mixing up your play and you don't normally "telegraph" your hand strength.

These are for the hands I posted, it's definitely not how I standard play. In fact, "liquid" could best describe my "playing style".And thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated.
