QQ on a scary board against loose/passive

[@bsolute_luck]

Button is loose/passive to say the least. pretty much any 2 cards will do. can't really figure him out sadly as he'll bluff sometimes when checked to, haven't seen a preflop raise yet, and calls down with any draw or pairing.

Easy bet, he usually has a hand worse than a pair of aces. Should also be an easy fold to a check raise assuming he only bluff bets, not bluff check raises.

yeah i figured as much. i think that's a leak i'm noticing right now is paying off on these river raises. he check/raised me. i paid the guy off

i got berated by the table for betting the turn and river saying "i should have slowed down when the Ace fell and blah blah" so i wasn't sure if i should have even betted this river.

Im surely betting here, but when a loose PASSIVE check raises me I start wondering about the call to the raise. He is loose, its way to easy for him to have a lower pair in which case your loosing a bet, also tell the table to shut the hell up.

yea this is one of those situations where you have a read, so you can fold this river check raise. I find it hard to do, but it is correct.

I would have also bet the river, he calls with a smaller pair here like almost every time, so you will make up for your over call on the river by continuing to value bet.

Easy bet, especially given your read.

If button is very loose, it seems that there are a lot of possible draws that he may have picked up on the flop. A pair or straight or gut-shot draw seem to be the most likely.

His checking the turn suggests that he doesnt have an A and the pairs and straight draws remain possibilities.

The 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] does complete a number of possible draws on the river, including the backdoor flush, however I would still be inclined to bet for value when button checks.

If button check-raised on the river, I would fold as I would consider that I was most likely beaten.

However, if I considered button to be tricky enough to be capable of attemting a river check-raise bluff, then I would just have checked behind on the river. However I would not expect many players to be that tricky at micro-stakes.

From your read this is a super easy river bet

"villain calls down with any draw or pairing"

Given your read, I bet the river; he could have anything.
