$1-$3 Live NLH
10 Handed
Typical Loose/Passive very soft live table

Loose/Passive player in middle position ($250) calls $3
Folded to Button
Button ($165) calls $3
SB Folds
Hero is BB ($180) with Js9c
Hero checks

POT is $10

FLOP
9s4s6s

Hero bets $10
Loose Passive Player (LPP) calls $10
Button Folds

POT is $30

TURN
2c

Hero checks
LPP checks

I put villain on a spade draw here obviously

**(My thought process for checking here is that LPP villain will call any size raise with any spade in his hand b/c he has already demonstrated that he has no concept of pot odds, so I thought I could check and wait for a safe river card and then make a thin bet for value)** Not sure if this is sound logic but it was my thought process at the time.

RIVER
Qs

Hero bets $26

Villain tanks for 30 seconds and then reraises $100

Hero asks LPP villain is he will show if hero folds. Villain gives hero the bird. Hero replies "classy" and then folds.

I think I made several mistakes in this hand.

Bring it please.

It's completely unsound logic.

Assuming we know villain is drawing to the flush draw, is it better to:

A. Let him see the river for free, or
B. Charge him as much as possible for his draw?
