Villain is unknown, seems loose, passive.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2.00 BB (5 handed)

Hero ($218.95)
UTG ($200.00)
MP ($128.15)
Button ($219.65)
SB ($239.75)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls $2, MP calls $2, SB folds, Hero checks.

Flop: ($7) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (5 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $6, UTG folds, MP calls $6, SB folds.

Turn: ($19) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
Hero bets $16, MP calls $16.

River: ($51) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players)
Hero bets $30, MP raises to $104.15 (all-in), Hero....

I tried a blocking bet on the river to avoid this (possible) disaster. Now what??

An 8 is not likely, but those few times have me crushed....

Fold. Don't lead river for $30 in a $51 pot.

Why do you think we don't split enough of the time for a call to be profitable?

Leading the river is quite dumb. An 8 is quite unlikely, yes - you need him not to have one at least 50% of the time, to make this call. I don't know, but lp guys may have it here that often.

this can easily be 88, 78, 8sXs

id fold, but i also hate the river bet
