River ($17.75) K (2 Players)

Villain (CO) is playing 25/16 with a 3bet% of 4 over 124 hands, so my assumption is that his preflop flatting range is reasonably wide.

On the flop I am going for a check-raise as I think there is a lot of hands I can gain value from which wouldn't raise when bet into such as AQ/KQ/QJ/JT/78s/etc whereas the only hands I am behind are 99/66 rly. This also protects my check/fold range.

When he raises turn I think he represents 77/76s/79s/T8s for value and a whole array of bluffs such as {hh, Tx, 8x} so I opt to call.

On the river I hit top set which puts me behind only T8/JT of which I don't think either would take this line although it is not completely inconceivable. I think he would bet T8/JT on flop and it is more likely he had some kind of SD value with the check behind so 76/79/77 would be more consistent. When he near pots river I think we can almost discount 76/79 because the K now completes JT and puts him behind KQ.

Given my analysis, I think he is completely polarised between air such as hh and 77 or a weirdly played T8/JT. Given this range I'm not sure how profitable it is to check/jam given how strong we look and his calling range of {77,JT,T8} and the odd {79,76,KQ} but would say the latter is quite unlikely.

What do you guys think? Am I missing value with a check/call?
