Re: TPNK - How do you play this river?
Grunch,
You hate to give the flush draws a free card, but I think this is a classic WA/WB situation. Check/Call, Check/Call, Bet.
I wouldn't think that you are ahead to a raise by a loose passive weakling, but the turn check through is odd. My guess is that he has an ace with a medium kicker and the cold calls scared him.
The way you played it, I check/call the river. If he doesn't have an ace, he probably won't call and checking may induce a bluff if he doesn't. With the weird action I think you are good 1/8 here.
my two cents
