To my mind, NH. If you lost money, I think you lost the least amount that you could have. If the 4 is out there, he should have c/red the turn, and if the flush is out there, he should have bet the river, to my mind.

I would play it the same except that I would check behind on the river. I know that your opponents are really loose but in this case the Ace and the King really make it hard for your opponent to call a bet with a 2nd best hand. Also, someone could be planning to check raise you after completing his backdoor flush draw.

Looks reasonable to me. As long as your opponents are checking through the Ace and King, I guess you could keep betting although I'm getting a little concerned about what Villian is calling all your bets with. I might have checked the River, because some opponents will check a King or a weak Ace in this hand.

I dunno about checking behind on the river

I think people call down with any pair on the flop here often enough to make it a +EV bet. If the games were tougher I'd agree with checking behind, but .5/1 is not that game. Bet for value until someone tells you they have a better hand.

Posting without reading any other replies, I check behind on the river. I can't think of any hand that will call you that you have beat (maybe I am over-estimating the competition.) I also don't think you will get a better hand to fold.

*grunching*
A close call for me, but I'd check behind on the river. Seems unlikely a worse hand will pay you off and you're opening yourself up to a checkraise. I'm putting UTG on an A or K (probably a K? afraid of your potential straight or flush). Now, since you DID bet the river, what would you have done if you were checkraised?
