Villain is 51/16/1.1 over 40 hands. What's your play on the river. Anything you guys would do differently on other streets?

I would bet $8 on turn and fold to a raise

Have you seen how he plays his draws before?

I agree to the posters before me, bet on turn.
As played i would fold the river.

Actually I like how you played this. Even though there are draws to protect against, you were check raised by a passive opponent on the flop. I check the turn and see what he does on the river. His river bet tells you a lot about his range. I think you can safely fold.

Edit: You also give yourself a free shot at your straight.

Why is betting $8 on turn better than calling bet on that river?
