Do I need to fatten up my value-betting? [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

SB is 80/0/1/40 WTSD
BB is 32/15/2, both over 30 hands.. hadn't seen anything unusual from BB, and SB as you can see was a very liberal donator

Party Poker Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: (6 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, SB folds, BB calls.

Turn: (4 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls.

River: (6 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB calls.

Final Pot: 10 BB

I never know where I'm at on river donkbets with straight/flush possible boards. I figured raise/fold was the best line, but given BB's stats, it really just looks like he hit a king and was making sure the river got bet..

Yeah, I don't think you should raise that. If he's just stabbing at the pot with nothing you won't get another bet, if he has you beat now, obviously you don't want to put more money in. If he had a smaller pair you probably would've heard about it earlier, so I don't think there's any value in your raise

I'd call as well. You could get value from a weirdly played 9 or 7, but I think more often you're facing a K or 2pair that's afraid you'll check it through (or a bluff, which won't call the raise).

Oh yeah, folding is impossible. I agree raising against this type of opponent just doesn't seem smart. Now if BB had folded and SB had played it this way, I would be morally obliged to raise it.
