I've come across very similar river situation to this a number of times and I'm never really sure what is best for either player on the river.
150 / 300 effective stacks 10K
Button and the blinds see a flop (900)
flop 569r
checked around
turn 7
SB leads for 550
Button calls
River (2000) T
SB bets 1100
Button holding the nuts, J8 to act, how much to bet?
How much should SB be willing to call off holding a bare 8?
Obviously there are situations where a strong read will indicate what either player should do here but if we work on the basis of fairly competent players who have little or no table time together.
