Should I bet this river
 

Villian is a little loose PF and very passive. I only had about 35 hands on him at the time, so it's not the strongest read ever.

After the turn, I put him on Ax, Kx or a pocket pair. I haven't done the math yet, but I think I should have bet against a player this passive. I'm a little weak on the river.

looks like a b/f. Depends how tricky, if any, villian is

I don't like the bet/fold with as weak a read as I have. I really don't know how tricky he is and the pot would be getting to a decent size at that point, so if I'm betting, I think it's a bet/call.

Re: Should I bet this river
 

if you check, villian is going to bet the flush when he has it, and check when he doesn't. If you bet, he is going to call with a lot of stuff. Need to (value)bet this against a very passive opponent.

You've got it backwards. Bet/fold by default. Consider alternatives with a read. Our average opponent is too passive. You haven't seen anything that suggests Villain is an exception.

I'd bet and be prepared to fold to a raise.

You don't think 1 in 8 or 9 players is tricky enough to bluff this? I think the pot is big enough after a bet and a raise that I should be calling.

*grunch*

I would bet, and fold to a raise.

Re: Should I bet this river
 

Without reading your post, I say yes.

Upon reading your post, the answer is still yes.

Even passive players don't bluff 10% of the time (online at least). Bet/fold is still goot.
