The Villian had lost his stack in 2 hands by calling bets preflop or on the flop, and folding on later streets.

Do you like the turn check, and what do you do on the river?

[baudib]

I call.

[GatorJH]

crying call

[Pants_101]

I would bet the turn in case of a flush draw and because an undercard came. I would call the river, no real reason to think I'm behind. I'm no great expert though

[Da GOAT]

cry call. betting/checking the turn isnt bad either way i think.
bett turn coz of missed flush draw
or check behind and call reasonable river bet. higher chance of a bluff on the river since you show weakness by not firing on the turn.

I put in a proper turn bet (say 180) and fold to a raise. If he calls, then bets out on that river, I would probably fold.
