Default Top pair bad kicker from blind

Villain seems loose passive, but I haven't played that many hands with him (~25).

Do you check the flop, turn, or river? Do you fold?

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (3 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB folds, MP2 calls.

Turn: (2.50 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 calls.

River: (4.50 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 8.50 BB

Looks fine to me, I would probably have played it the same. No way you can fold here.

On the river BB needs to have a T or better kicker (unless he has a boat) which is possible, but given that he's loose his hand distribution should be quite wide.

Mind you that 25 hands is not much of a read.

I think you played it fine post-flop. Inspired by the thread QTip brought up from the archives, I'll guess you have a 1 in 5 shot of taking it at showdown.

I would fold pre-flop. I'd fold A5o too.

What would be the weakest hand you would want to play from the small blind here? K9o? A8o?

I don't like getting involved in these types of situations, but against one limper and the big blind I usually play any A or K for 1/2 small bet.

Is this too loose from the small blind at party 2/4?
