Hey Hey

Reads – v is a loose passive opponent …I've not seen any hands showdown. I am pretty sure this guy is  a really bad/weak opponent.

The turn was not a great card for me ...v could have flushes in there range so i checked back since i do have showdown value. On the river my hand improves v then checks again  i now  heavly discount flushes and indicates a marginal hand. so now i'm looking at my hand  thinkng my relative hand strength is rather strong. I bet river for value to get calls from weaker Jx and medium pocket pairs.

I was pretty sure that v would bet his flushes on the river because its very likely that we are going to check back hands like KJo/JT/QJ.

so i'm now questioning if i should of checked back river? 

i personally think b/f was fine as played though ...i think checking back here would be a mistake imo.
