You've seen no resistance, so a value bet would be good? In this case, I think not.

There's a lot of trouble here. You could now be beat by a boat and a flush. From the action, I'm thinking you lost to a flush. You could try to bet and hope the flush folds to you representing a boat, but alas, it's PP .5/1. They will not fold.

If your opponent was holding on to a Q, then they would probably fold to a bet. Also, this same opponent, if checked to, may try to make a bluff at the pot. You call, you get a BB.

So betting here will either win you 0 bets, most of the time, if your opponent holds nothing, or lose you 2 bets (when they raise their boat/flush on the river).

Checking here will either win you 0 bets (if they don't bet), win you 1 bet (if your opponent tries to bluff), or loses you 1 bet if your opponent has a hand.

I'm going for the c/c here. It maximizes your wins while minimizing your losses.
