I would bet/fold this, I'm expecting to see Kx/7x/whatever pay me off way more than A8+

I wouldn't fold anywhere...

I would have played it exactly as you did (minus posting UTG... biggrin.gif ). With the SB calling a raise PF then leading out each street and getting two callers on the flop and turn, he has to know someone has an ace, most likely with a weak kicker since they aren't pushing the action. I'd put him on a weak ace as well and just check it down to be sure you don't run into a sneaky check-raise. Thoughts?

I think you need to bet that river. Villain could be leadin into you with any piece of the flop. His check on the river at least indicates that he probably doesn't have a strong hand.
Life is the art of drawing without an eraser.

Yeah. Gotta bet the river.

I also think the turn should be raised. You will never get 3-bet by a worse hand, and you would like to charge a draw that will pay off now, but not on the river. You should probably take the free showdown UI.
