Checking down Ace-high and folding when villain barrels a four-straight runout keeps our losses minimal.

Checking is the preferred play here. With the four-straight developing on the board, checking allows us to realize our equity and control the pot.
Checking to the in-position player is standard with Ace-high, as we hold showdown value against unimproved overcards but cannot extract value by betting.
Folding is the right play. While Ace-high beats total air, villain's river betting range on this connected runout easily clears the threshold needed to make a call unprofitable. **Ranges:** After checking back the turn, villain's river betting range is heavily concentrated in checked-back overpairs like JJ through KK and thin value straights, while their complete airballs rarely fire at this size. **Math:** Facing a 7.5BB bet into 11.6BB, we are offered 2.5:1 pot odds and need 28.3% equity to break even, which an unimproved Ace-high cannot achieve against this range. --- > **Takeaway:** When facing significant river aggression on boards with extensive straight coordination, release pure bluff-catchers that only beat missed air.
