NL10 - Good river for a blocking bet?

this is a tough spot given villains stack size is about a PSB... i suppose you could bet about 3 and fold but even that would be questionable with the odds you get. id say check/calling here is better bc a busted flush could fire, as well as busted straights that paired a 7.

has villain shown aggression or is he generally weak and calling?

I think this is the first pot I played with villain OOP, so not too sure how he will respond to weakness. In position, he'd been check calling down fairly light, leading with weak tpgk type hands, but leading fairly weak. I'd say he's more on the passive side, but capable of bluffing a missed draw.

What sized bet do you call on the river? I would call a half pot sized bet, would struggle to call a pot sized bet.

if he has been generally passive, then i am with you. i probably am folding to a shove but calling up to about a half a pot bet. imo a weak-loose player is not a deep thinking player and i dont see him shoving on a bluff.

Interesting spot. I think a b/f would be best here of about 4. My reasoning is that villan is passive so I don't think he'd be capable of raising missed FD's here only slowplayed FH's or 9's (villan is a donk, he is capable of slowplaying on 2 flush board). C/fing to a PSB and c/cing a 1/2 sized bet kinda sucks b/c villan would be more likely to put out a full sized bet on a bluff, where a 1/2 sized bet looks more like a value bet. Also, checking will lose value from all the hands that will check behind here.
