My table image is just terriblly LAggy. I got most of my stack when someone decided to fight back against my button aggression by going ape-shit-4-bet-all-in aggro pre-flop with T4o vs my KK.

My opponent is kinda tight, passive and super-weak. I've been putting considerable pressure on him.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

SB ($74.55)
BB ($43.10)
UTG ($225.10)
Fnord ($193.85)
CO ($110.05)
Button ($94.50)

Preflop: Fnord is MP with T, A.
UTG calls $1, Fnord raises to $5, 4 folds, UTG calls $4.

Flop: ($11.50) 5, 2, K (2 players)
UTG checks, Fnord bets $9, UTG calls $9.

Turn: ($29.50) A (2 players)
UTG checks, Fnord bets $20, UTG calls $20.

River: ($69.50) 4 (2 players)
UTG checks, Fnord ???

With your image i think a check behind might be best here, he has to think you'll be raising the river with the 4d coming up and the way you've been playing, so his check could mean anything. He also could check a lot of things that are beating you, but he doesn't really want to play for stacks with, so I'd just check behind to keep the pot where it is and get the showdown.

UTG call smells of pp from this type of opp. The fact that he calls a flop and turn bet with an A and a K on the board should throw some flags. Even if he had something like TT or 99 UTG, calling down on that board would be -EV. Check behind, take notes, and attack him some more.

my first reaction is that there isn't much value in a river bet vs a weak player here

but then i try to put villain on a hand and I can't so wtf just bet since you ve been beating on him.
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

Meh, might as well bet. I'm sure even a tight passive would have made a move on the river if he had something worthwhile. Looks like he's taking a weak-ass stand by calling you down with pocket 9s or something.

I like a check because these players don't tend to make too many hero calls, and stuff like AJ/AQ is in his range for sure.

With that said Aces up or AQ is a standard bet. AT is borderline and I'd bet against a lot of players, but I think a check is good here.

checking misses value, against a tight player you are losing to hardly anything and KQ looks you up enough to make it a good bet

Normally I think you have to bet but because of your read, check behind..

I would bet a weak looking $30 or something like it. I am pretty sure that you are ahead here. However, said that, a regular opponent of mine takes this line often with the nuts hoping to pick up a bluff river bet OOP. But still, without reads I would bet the river.
