    How about betting a little more on the turn? If he is going to call $4, he'll very likely also call $5 or $5.5, right? Then it's easier to get it in on the river. However I'd say it's arguable whether a 11/6 stacks off or even calls $8 with AJ or AQ, and surely not with TT-QQ.

    How about checking? If he called the turn he's got a strong ace in just about everything you beat, so he could bet that if checked to (because you don't have any 3's in your range), esp. after your smallish turn bet. He'd probably just shove himself for value against your weaker aces or a KK-QQ that he might think you couldn't fold, or if your check makes him think that you don't have an A he might want to try a bluff with his TT-QQ to fold your JJ-KK.

    Or is that stretching it?

    edit: probably stretching it because if you are playing 8/8 he can't expect that you would call a river bet with anything worse than AK. Or if he does bet he would bet small so that you would feel compelled to call with your worse hands, but then when you raise he would most likely fold... unless you try the "induce a fit" technique that made you famous in that second flush hand
