Default Value betting standards (a TT hand at 1/2)

1$/2$ 6-max Crypto

Hero is UTG with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
BB is an 80/7/x (where x is < 1.0) calling station. His default play is to call to the river. When he gets to the river, he sometimes folds, but calls often. I'm unsure of his river calling standards, but I have seen him call with top to middle pair mostly, and once or twice he called with nothing or some pair less than middle pair.

Preflop: Hero raises, everyone folds, BB calls.

Flop (2 players, 4.5 SB): [Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]]
BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls.

Turn (2 players, 3.25 BB): [J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]]
BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls.

River (2 palyers, 5.25 BB): [2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]]
BB checks, Hero....??


Is this a clear value bet with 4th pair, or is it debatable, or should I just check behind?

Am I missing out on a lot if I'm not value betting in spots like this where I have third or fourth pair?

You know, I've played very little 6max, but even I feel this is a extremely easy check through. Theres a strait out, flush, and all kinds of paint that beats you. What could he possibly call with that you beat?

Pretty much nothing. Unless you are sure he would call this down with a 4-rag, definately check this. Betting this is ev-

Against a complete calling station, I think it may be better to check the turn. I'm not sure.

i dont know who taught you to play, but you cannot regularly value bet profitably in this spot against evwen the worst calling station... check and hope he has something retarded.

I think its a check, but I think its closer than everyone else does. He will call with a 4, any pocket pair, and maybe King high.
