I bet because we're unknown to each other & my bet appears to be polarized I think because many draws arrived & people opt to play tight for value in such spots. And vs unknown you're inclined to be more SD-bound & this guy seems to be capable of thinking about such things. Or would you cb?

On first sight it looks like an easy valuebet. But when getting deeper into it I actually don't see many worse hands calling you. Ax and Kx are very likely to fold on this river, so you're targeting stuff like 22-44 (which might easily fold as well) and 7x. Maybe also T8, J8.

I still like the bet though but it's closer than I first thought. When getting raised it depends a lot on your reads. I think it's very close and I could go either way, vs unknown it's probably better to look him up.

Totally agree. When I played it it seemed to be an easy valuebet but then there were some doubts so I decided to post it.
