Trips on scary river... check? vbet?

[LetsHugItOut]

Pretty simple and standard spot. Just trying to fix a leak.

Villain is 50/10 over 50 or so hands. Seems loose and weak -- just how I like 'em.

What are you doing on this river? Checking behind? Value-betting? If so, how much?

Comments everywhere appreciated.

i would check the river, this seems like one of those situations where villan is either raising/folding after your bet.

With villain being loose wouldn't a value bet be OK here? If not, why? Also, would a raise be good in the BB?
