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?

Whats wrong with folding on the flop?

After calling the flop you cant fold the turn when u hit nuts lo, and a raise could be somewhat suicidal.

Having got to the river, just check.

It was all set for the 3rd barrel and then breaks, hes weak but then again ur not strong on high so check
