live 3/6, J9s UTG, betting the river #1

[mntndrew]

Hadn't been playing long, but seemed like a standard loose passive table, felt comfortable limping in early position with J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Sure enough, 6 players go to the flop.

Flop [5.3 SB]: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Hero bets, 2 folds, MP raises, folded back to Hero, who 3-bets, MP calls.

Turn [5.6 BB]: K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Hero bets, MP calls.

River [7.6 BB]: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Hero checks...

Is this a super-easy value bet? I often find myself checking this out of position, thinking that it looks like I'm up against a flush draw that might be more likely to bet than to call, not to mention the fact that my kicker isn't all that hot.

Bet. Whatever he has he isn't raising you anymore so the same goes in whether you're ahead or behind, except you'll miss bets the times he turns over T9 and T8.

I don't see many people betting missed draws in these games.

**Especially loose passive games. Most people wouldn't dare raise a draw on the flop in these games.

I'm putting him on A9, Q9-94, maybe even 92, flush draw with overs, or flush draw with a 3. I guess possibly 88-44 or something like that. I need to bet more rivers at this limit...
