I suck at the river, part 2

[tyler_cracker]

I have another post live at this time, but i figured having two separate posts was better than two hands in one post. As you can see by the subject line, i feel like i'm making a lot of mistakes on the river. I'm having a hard time deciding between when it's correct to value bet and when i need to check/call. Comments on all streets appreciated, of course.

Live 4/8.

Villain is a pretty typical player for this table. Seems reasonable, kinda loose preflop, hasn't really done anything to attract my attention.

Hero is SB with Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

EP Donk calls, Villain calls, 2 other limpers call, Hero completes, BB checks.

A note about Villain's hand: when he picked it up to look at it, he somehow managed to show his bottom card, and i saw that he had a black ace.

Flop (6 SB): J 5 x rainbow

Hero bets, BB folds, Donk calls, Villain calls, everyone else folds.

Turn (4.5 BB): 5 rainbow

Hero bets, Donk calls, Villain calls.

River (8.5 BB): T

Hero...?
