Exactly, there is no reason to bet the river here. If you check, Ax is definitely not checking behind, but you get value from busted draws or complete bluffs, anyways. I would bet my soul that he did not fold an ace here. Here was kind of a similar hand I played yesterday. He is definitely betting a K if checked to, and flush draws get an opportunity to bluff as well. He probably doesn't fold to an open push with a K, but he might a small percentage of the time.
