check and call river..
this makes the pot cheaper and if a card comes like 10 or 5 and SB bets then you can easily fold....

Turn: ($10) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $8.00</font>

So this is not the smartest move?

[ocdscale]

What. Why would we ever check this turn, with the intention of making it easier to fold if Villain hits?
If we put villain on a draw, we bet to get money now (because he's not calling if he misses).

Betting $8 is fine.
The only reason we should check is if we think Villain won't call a bet now, but might if it's checked through.
Given your read that Villain is loose and passive, a bet is right almost all the time.

I'd bet again here 7-8$ and it would probably be the last money i put into the pot :/ We have to charge the draws

this doesn't seem like an OPTIMAL time to check because we do care about free cards, however I think pot control with our weak hand is more important - we can't be excited about playing a much bigger pot here. so I check and call a reasonable river bet.

I would bet about $8, and not put any more money into the pot.

ok it seems I misapplied the concept here. Would we check the turn against a better player than SB?
