River value bet?

[Argus]

SB is a loose, slightly aggressive player based on 100 datamined hands. edit: stats are 63/23/0.9 over 100 hands. MP is unknown. This is my first hand at the table, so I don't have any reads beyond datamining.

My main question is the river, but if any other street was mishandled, I'm interested to hear it.

Tricky hand...

On the flop I think raising is just barely better than folding. I like the turn raise, but I'd make it with the intention of checking behind on the river, and folding to any more action. The board is so draw heavy that I don't think you're collecting from a lot of SB's possible holdings, and hands like A5s and flopped two pair are also major considerations.

Just my opinion...

I like it the whole way, definantly check behind on the river.

Yea, you gotta check behind on the river. If he calls, you don't win &gt;50% of the time.
