This was 5 handed (one empty seat at table) at 10NL.
I had 8s8h on CO. UTG limps. I raise him to 40c. Everyone folds around except SB who calls. After about 30 hands at the table, my impression of him was one of a typical loose beginner who defends his blinds a lot.
The flop is T44 with two hearts.
He leads out with a 35c bet into the $1 pot, I raise to $1.15 as the bet felt weak and I wanted to take it down if I could right there because there are so many overcards.
Turn is Qd. He checks. I thought about firing another barrel but checked as I didn't want to get raised off the hand.
River is Qc. He checks again, I was fairly certain I had the best hand here, but he may call with ace high or 55-77, nothing else, and again I didn't wanna get raised off the hand. So I checked.
What would you do differently? Way too passive?
