Do I bet out again here with TPTK? And what do I do if I get reraised?

Re: NL10 TPTK on scary board against very loose passive player
 

I'd have another bet here, probably around 1/2 pot, then fold to a raise.

I think if he's passive a raise means he's got the stuff generally.

It's a scary board and you're hand is okay, not great. So have another go, sure, but if he calls be very cautious on the river.

I dont think you can check, because you could let a draw come home. It's also my opinion that if you make a bet your future decisions become easier.

Does anybody check the turn here? I may be missing something.

I bet/fold for $1.40 and block bet the river on a blank. I'm c/f to a J,6,9,diamond.

[/ QUOTE ] I don't. I'm not sure what to do after I check here and people at this level are generally straight forward and tell you when you're beaten.
