Checking back is the correct decision to capture showdown value. Betting accomplishes little, as worse hands fold while better pairs and straights call. **Ranges:** SB arrives here with many missed overcards and gutshots such as A-T and K-Q that we beat at showdown, while their calling range is restricted to pocket pairs, 8x, and straights like 7-6. **Plan:** Checking back cleanly captures our equity against SB's missed floats without putting chips at risk against hands that have us beat. --- > **Takeaway:** When holding ace-high with genuine showdown value, check back the river instead of turning your hand into an unnecessary bluff.
