20/40 game at Bellagio. Game just started, I don't know any of the players involved so no reads.

UTG 30ish Asian guy limps UTG. Old white man limps button. I call SB with Qc6c. 40ish Asian guy in BB checks.

Flop 4s6s7c - I check, BB checks, UTG bets, button folds, I call, BB folds.

Turn Qh - I check, UTG bets, I raise, UTG calls.

River 8d - I check, UTG bets, I call.

I thought he probably had more hands that beat me than that were losers that would call a bet. Unless he had one pair of Queens which would possibly bet anyway. Really thought he had mostly flush draws that missed and wouldn't call, but there was a chance would bluff.

Definitely not a great chance he is bluffing here, but still I think most of his range is hands that can't call a bet. If he is really never bluffing, should I bet / fold the river here? Probably only beating a bluff.

Any comments on earlier streets?

The hand is standard until the river when you should bet. I would call a raise.

You have weaker hands you can bluff catch. The fact is your range is killing his so you shouldn't check much here at all.

Definitely my range is way ahead here, but so much of his range shouldn't be able to call a bet that I didn't think that was so relevant. Am I trying to cover for some bluffs I could possibly make on the river?

I dont mind it, esp at the 20/40 level, where fishy types know that they have to bluff now and then but have no idea when to do it. I know youre read-less so this doesnt mean much but there are certain guys who will amost always bet when checked to on rivers in big pots. This guys did limp UTG, mind you.

I'd bet/fold

Our hand looks strong and he is theoretically raising us. He limped preflop (i.e. passive player)
