Value betting not for value

But betting the river to not give away free information. I'm confident my opponent has a missed draw on the river. I don't expect my river bet to get called, but I'm betting to keep my image intact.

Just a little change to my game. Value betting the river has always been a weakness but this give any reason to fire out a bet.
