Default Do you fire one more time for value?

$5/10 just sat down. Two key players this hand.Older guy I've seen before seems tight passive (TP)and a young guy just showed down a J6 suited in LP.

I'm big blind. 3 limpers then TP raises. MP calls all including small blind fold to me. I have 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] I call. The limpers do what I expect and call.

6 to the flop 12BB.
K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

We check to raiser. He bets, LP calls, I call and one limper calls.

4 players 8BB
Turn T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I check limper checks TP bets LP calls I raise. The limper and TP folds.

Heads up with LP 13BB
River is a small[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I bet here but questioned if I should. It was very likely LP had a K, but he could have a T with a better kicker or very possibly chased the flush.

Would you have bet for value?

You have no reads on this player, betting this river is easily for value. The only vague read you have supports a bet...

If this guy showed down J6 it's an easy bet/fold. If he is a passive player all the hands he raises you with beat you T with a better kicker and the flush. Unless, you think he would raise with a K or bluff raise, unlikley, it is a bet/fold, otherwise check call.

I'd play this as a bet/call. Checking without any solid reads just seems like missing potential bets. Folding the river after you bet and LP raises in a decent sized pot (again with no strong reads) seems wrong as well.

Folding trip tens on the river for 1BB in a 16BB pot? Your read have to be pretty damn good. The read on villain is way too vague to bet/fold this river. What does the fact that he showed down J6s tell us? Nothing about if he's passive and his ability to bluff...
