Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter

All villians are very loose and passive. 50-70/0-10. AF <1

Preflop: Hero is SB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
1 fold, MP calls, CO calls, Button calls, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (5 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (5 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, MP checks, CO checks, Button checks.

Turn: (2.50 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (5 players)
Hero bets, BB raises, MP folds, CO calls, Button calls, Hero calls.
I picked up two draws -- still too weak to try to semi-bluff all these loose players?

River: (10.50 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, CO calls, Button folds, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, CO calls, Hero calls.
When passive BB 3 bets, I'm afraid he filled up (or, rarely, CO going for overcalls). Too weak?

Final Pot: 19.50 BB

Capping this is spewing IMO.

Semi-bluffing into 4 loose passives is not a good idea... just check the turn. Definitely just call the river 3-bet.

Running bad + sucking makes me wuss out on the river too much -- just getting a sanity check that I wasn't doing that here.

Isn't it a value bet on the turn?

If all 15 outs are good, it's about 2:1 against... so if I get two callers it might be for value.

But sometimes I improve and still lose (to a bigger flush or FH). And (probably less frequently) I only get only one caller.
