Villian is new to table, but in the hands he has been here, he is loose and floaty, getting involved in a lot of pots with bad hands.

Now I played the hand the way I did, because I figured he was on 2 broadway, and was checking to induce bluffs,plus i didnt want to have to fold a monster draw to a giant overbet. Given that.... is the river a c/r or do you lead out?

Why did you check the flop? I would bet like 1k here and happy to get it all in. Given your flop check, I guess turn is fine. C/r probably would be okay too. River I think you gotta bet.

edit: oh u already said why u checked, but betting is def better.
