AK unimproved firing away

I check the river. They both arent calling with weaker hands, and I think you save a bet here more often by checking and getting the showdown for free the times you lose and button is to pussy to bet his weak pair, or he checks and bb is holding some goofy pair hand. Plus it gives you the option of folding it goes bet/call or bet/raise and it saves you from some deciding what to do vs some stupid bluff raise because the board went 4 straight

Check the river!

betting the river is a poor play: You are likely beat and ANY pair will call. If you check, you can see if button bets and if SB calls. Then you can fold. By checking you are also giving the button a chance to bluff and if SB folds, then you can call.

I've seen this hand happen a thousand times and i'm wondering if the best play isn't to just check the flop and evaluate. Especially with loose players, they'll call you with anything. More times than not you get raised on flop bets. Taking the weak-tight approach is something to consider.
