Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Rejouer la main

$0.1/$0.2 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (5 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BU with Q:c, T:s.
2 folds, Hero raises, SB folds, BB calls.

Flop: (4.5 SB) J:h, T:h, 8:c (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls.

Turn: (3.25 BB) 5:h (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls.

River: (5.25 BB) 4:s (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.

Final Pot: 5.25 BB.

What is the best line with a weak made hand on a drawy flop (straight and flush draw possible)?
With my middle pair, I choose to bet/fold the turn and take the free showdown.
Is my check/behind on the river too weak?

Valuebet the river against 8x and weaker Tx like T9, T7. He probably would have raised a Jack on the flop or turn. By checking behind the river you miss value. Bet/calldown flop and turn if raised. If getting checkraised on the turn, you have to call - he could bluff with draws and you have a gutshot straightdraw.

I whould have played bet/call on the turn and probably check behind on the river.

But I think it's better to bet on the river like taavi said

Hi!

This hand is valuebets all the way. Flop is b/calldown, turn is b/c and folding to certain players on the river.

River is an easy valuebet since the card is a total blank.He does not represent Jx with his passive play and you have sec pair with a decent kicker. Also he rarely has flush as he would raise it on the turn most often.
