Against a player this loose, I think a bet is for value.

Almost as I was checking I was questioning why I didn't bet the river. I think this is a pretty bad leak in my game. I've found myself often not betting semi-scary river cards against looser opponents.

Looks to me like SB is playing some sort of WA/WB line, so I put him on a Q + weak kicker or JT + middle/strong kicker. Bet the river.

He has shown no sign of a flush. You bet for value here hoping he calls with Q/K or Q/9.

But yeah, straightforward value-bet on river.
