Dude thats a serious thin snap call you're planning.
YEAH, it's thin, but as you said yourself his hand looks a lot like AdX and I just don't see what hand villain can bet for value after we c/r:d the turn. Thin value isn't good here since our range is polarized (contains fairly strong hands and missed draws), so it's very hard for villain to put us on a weak made hand. If we are behind then villain will probably check also, but this seems to be a decent spot for villain to bluff after we show weakness.

We snap because we decide already when we check that it's a c/sc and stick to our plan. Bad luck if he has 33.
There's value in the thought that if we check he sometimes checks behind with weak best hands that he would have folded to a lead. Something like Ad8.
