Pre standard, flop standard for me. Turn happy to get a free card. River I donk small hoping to get call from pot controlling Ax, AJ, small flush, 3x. Should just check call though. When he raises I think he has zero bluffs and Kc and FH in range a lot so have to fold.

Yes I agree, zero bluffs in their range and they most likely have Kc or better because regs at this level are not raising Tc for value. You can very well have boats/flushes in your range so don't see them raising the river with anything but a killer hand.

I like your bet to get a crying call from Ax and worse flushes that will check back.

I am wondering if x/c or x/f the river wouldn't be a better line? don't think we will get much value from rarely weaker hands here?

Even though we should be able to extract value with these types of hands on the river in theory, in practice it doesn't always work so well. River value bet will be thin at best. Should be pretty straight-forward fold vs the river raise, and it may turn out that vs many opponents we can just check the river without affecting our EV that much.

Villain is never bluffing here, but I wouldn't try and value bet this river anyway.

Is preflop really standard though? I tend to avoid calling in this spot when I've been 3 bet in the first two seats until I have plenty of stats on villain. I always feel I'm a bit blind post flop not knowing anything about villain's range.
