Ok, opponent was loose and passive, both pre- and post flop from what I had seen, but not loose enough to play Q9 in that spot. Is it weak just to call this river, results to follow

No, I don't think so. He is a passive player and this is a very aggressive move. I think he would fold any hand that you beat (trips or lower) if you raise. Unless you think he would make this play with A10, AND call a raise, then its not worth it, you'll get out-boated too often.

He probably has a 10 but may have boated up with the K or J. I would be too scared to raise here.

against a thinking player I would but this guy was not, and I have noticed that they almost always fold for a half pot or slightly above on this kind of board when they are empty and call anyway if they have any pocket pair

remember he is loose and I really think he would call me here with both AT or QT, but would he really take this line with thoose hands
