Do you have a read on him as a calling station? Have you not shown down very many hands? If you think he's going to fold, then bet. If you think he's going to call, a check is good.

Yea, he was a loose passive. About a 36 VPIP and low aggression (both PF and post flop).

im not sure, but I think I check this turn and call/raise the river.

Then just check behind him. You made the correct play.

Seems to me the only way they can call is if they can beat you. Checking lets you win the times when they have nothing, and you save a bet the times when they are calling with a weak ten or jack..
