Checkbehind! Question is what to do on the River. I think i would fold. He limped Preflop and is certainly passive. He could have Tx Kx Jx Q9 etc and the question is whether he could fold a pocketpair like 44 55 66 22 33. As it it blindbattle and assumingly he does have a huge WTS and thus he will ,if at all, fold his pocketpair on the River. You could get him to fold a splitpot but compared to the hands that have you crushed now as J is almost the worst card in the deck i think the foldequity is just too marginal to justify betting through this argument. First of all i do check back and give up. Or is it worth to bet against a :diamond: flushdraw? Are we supposed to call a riverbet and thus rather bet turn again?

Suggestions?

I checked this one behind, and river also went check-check, he showed Q :diamond:7 :club: and then I thought it could be bet/fold on the turn. This guy is passive for sure but it was the first hand with him so no notes were available. Actually I also thought I could fold the river because this J is so bad. So probably no need to start guessing game on the river in the small pot & no need to bet on the turn where bad card arrived and we have no info about opp. If we knew he could peel Q7o on the flop is should be a bet I think.
