River check with set, 4 to straight

[J. Stew]

BB is fishtastic
Utg is semi-loose passive

Is checking the river weak here?

I agree. Just take the "free" showdown. Otherwise, you risk losing 2 BB more than necessary if you're behind.

In my experience, these dudes don't c/r.

I'm not losing two bets on the river.

Bet. The odds go down that they have it by quite a bit when it is checked to you. Most people recognize that a 4-straight is a scary board and bet out if they actually have it.

I am not good enough to bet fold this river so I will check behind.
