Quite awhile back, I used a hypothetical where God stopped time and showed you the hands of all the other players. It's about time the Devil got his chance. This is potentially trivial for a lot of you.
You're playing deep-stack (stacks of 200+ BB) no-limit hold 'em, and you're in late position. The only action before you is a loose player who limped, and you raise it up to 4xBB with the black aces. Both blinds fold, and the limper calls.
The flop comes [8h][6s][2h]. The limper checks, you bet the pot and he calls. The turn is the deuce of clubs. The limper checks, and now the Devil stops time and whispers this in your ear:
"He has one of two hands: It's either [Qh][10h] or [Ah][6c]. They're both as likely. He will fold either hand if you bet anything more than a quarter of the pot, but will call with both hands if it's that or less."
This player will never bluff and never checkraise.
How much do you bet? What are your options, and what's your expected value for the different scenarios?
