Default 2/4 Bad river check?

Poker Loco 2/4 9 handed.

Villain unknown, but from a few hands he's turned over in just one orbit, he looks loose passive.

Hero dealt K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

4 folds, Hero raises, Villain 3-bets, 3 folds, Hero caps

2 to Flop (9 SB)

3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Hero bets, Villain calls

Turn (5.5 BB) A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Hero bets, Villain calls.

River (7.5 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Hero checks...

I guess I don't particularly feel like getting raised by an Ace, but am I giving this guy too much hand credit and losing value? You'd think even a loose passive would have woken up on that turn when the second Ace hit if he had it. Is this a good spot to induce a bluff?

I think there's more hands he will call with than he will bluff with.

You missed the value bet. He will almost always check behind and very often call if you bet.

loose passive will only bet with hands he will beat you with, but the chances of him calling on the river are worth a bet. If you get raised dump it despite the great odds for a call. That is why you win money in small stakes hold em.
