The Villian hasn't been involved in too many hands so far.

Do you value bet this river?

ya i make it 400 to go

Tough call. At lower levels I think I bet this.

This is a board where a lot of draws might call the turn though, so giving opp a chance to make a bluff might be a good idea. It probably costs you less if he has you buried -- two pair could easily price you in on a reraise. I.E., if you bet $400 on the river, opp. might reraise another $400. Whereas if you check, perhaps it costs you just $400 to call their value bet.

I can go both ways. Lower levels, it's easy to value bet the river. The real question you have to ask yourself is, will you call a shove/raise?

ok, go through the hands that beat AcQh-

JJ,1010, 44, J10, 104, AJ, A10, A4, A7, J7, 10 7, 77, 47, J4, KQ

Now your read i would assume by saying "hasn't been involved in many hands so far" would assume solid player (any arguments?)

Solid player (average hands playability) - JJ, 1010, 44?, AJs(o?) A10s 77, KQs(o?)

if he has JJ 1010 44 77 or KQ your drawing dead, any bet kills u
- now a solid player would assumably play the hands above - i would assume with the check's all the way down if he raises a value bet on the river u fold. Make a value bet, 1/3-1/2 the pot size.

does someone with a set check a JT and two flop here?

I think I would bet. The whole, check, check-call, check business is a bit odd but for every time this is a (poorly - IMO) slow-played set, how often do you see a busted club draw or some crappy middle pair that villian is intent on showing down, even with multiple overs?
