25NL: KK vs loose player
 

Villain is 50/5-ish, but not (as far as I could tell) a complete station. He got his big stack when he flopped top set with TT, check-called the flop (as the pre-flop raiser), and check-min-raise/4-bet ai on the turn.

How's my line?

You don't beat much so easy river fold, trouble is your river bet looks really weak so he could be raising a wide range of hands, obv less likely if he's a station.

I bet $10-$12 on river fold to raise or just check fold since every draw he could have has hit.

do we need to block the river if he's passive?
