Villain is playing a pretty loose semi-agro game, stats are 35/16/1.09. He has taken his fair share of pots on the flop with PSB and hasn't really shown down much. He did 4bet utg vs a shortstack with AJ62, of course the SS had AA.

PokerStars Pot-Limit Omaha Hi/Lo, $0.50 BB (8 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

UTG+1 ($50)
MP1 ($50)
MP2 ($17.05)
Hero (CO) ($63.85)
Button ($20.65)
SB ($49.50)
BB ($43.50)
UTG ($51)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 2, 8, K, A
1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.50, 2 folds, Hero bets $2.25, 3 folds, UTG+1 calls $1.75

Flop: ($5.25) J, 4, 8 (2 players)
UTG+1 bets $3.50, Hero calls $3.50

Turn: ($12.25) 6 (2 players)
UTG+1 bets $11.65, Hero calls $11.65

River: ($35.55) 9 (2 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero ??

He's been representing the flush, or at least a hand on flop, turn, then all of a sudden checks the river. His play is somewhat erratic so I really can't tell if he is trying to be tricky to induce a bet from me or is this just real weakness.

It crossed my mind that it could be a Dry A bluff that he has given up on, or was just betting with complete air. There are 2 overcards to my pair of 8's, so I don't know how much showdown value I have for the high I have at this point.

My question is, vs loose-agro opponents what does putting on the breaks on river mean to you?

I think I messed this hand up pretty bad. Anyone playing the flop or turn differently?
