Bet more on turn? Fold river? Bet river?

Whats your opponent like? You have to try and establish possible hands for villian before you just bet or call.

He is weak, kinda loose and passive. I havent seen him play enough hands to have an idea of what he cold calls with.

Its a tough hand to play OOP. Is bet/folding spewing chips on the river?

I think if you're planning on betting the river, you're better off betting more on the turn. Current turn bet looks scared, gives a single card draw a pretty good price to continue, and doesn't really tell you much if they call. If you bet something like 6 here and get called, I think you can toss your hand away without too many worries.

As it is, there are a lot of times where I will actually just check-fold the turn here. You're out of position and just about every draw got there. Plus, of the hands that were likely dominated by you before that might have called preflop, only KT and KJ haven't hit their kicker. You're really not winning this hand unless your opponent is pretty loose.

Turn bet shoulud be at a minimum 6. I like the check/call on the river.
