I'm posting quite a lot hands today since I've been more confused than ever. Villain in this hand is somewhat loose and fairly aggressive (~5% pfr).

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>.
Flop: (7.50 SB) 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 8/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, Hero calls, MP1 folds.
This is a very marginal call...
Turn: (6.25 BB) A/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets</font>, Hero calls.
River: (8.25 BB) K/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>...
I felt he probably check the river if I check and he probably won't raise many hands even if he's ahead. I felt the risk of him raising the turn with a hand that beats me was bigger.
The cons of this play is he could have been playing a draw and check the turn or not calling my river bet if he missed. Also the flop raise/turn bet suggests a strong hand.
What's your line?
