TPTK bad river spot

[gol4pro]

NL 1/2 6 max. I've been speeding a little bit, but I've also had some good hands.

Villian is fairly loose passive, won't raise without a hand.

I have A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], and decide to change it up by limping in SB after villian calls UTG.

Stacks 230$
Pot 6$
Flop Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Pot 22
-- Turn 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
-- I bet 14, villian calls (UTG)

River 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
-- I check, villian bets 40, I curse at myself for not blocking and....

I guess this would make it a fold? Sucks that you did not block the river.

Fold (especiially if he is passive). His only likely draw got there, and if he hasn't got that he is checking behind with everything you beat. He is bound to have show down value, and no hand with show down value that you beat will bet that river. The only exception is J 9.

Also, I bet 1/2 on river, it will make things easier, but mostly because it will be called by worse hands.
