Hey guys, yesterday I had this interesting spot:

On the flop I have got a range of like

100: TT-88, 50: JJ, AQs-ATs, KQs, QJs, JTs, T9s, 98s, AQo+

Given his big Turnsizing I guess my continuationrange is something like

50: 9c8c, AQs-ATs, AQo+

So my only reasonable bluffcombo is 98cc which I only got half of the time in my range here.

The question now is:
Should we be having a raisingrange ott?
If we don't, how do we play the river?

I mean, if we bet, he will probably perceive us on AQ or better about 99% of the time, since there are no natural bluffs I could be having.
Should we still be betting big and hoping he can´t let go of his AKish händs, or should we be rather betting small?

If we bet big, shall we also turn hands like ATs in a bluff?
Floating the turn with a wider range (like KQish hands) is generally a bad idea I suppose, but also a thing that came into my mind.. :/
