i wasn't sure about 2nd barrelling the turn. Pot was getting big, 2nd barrel would leave me with pot size bet in the river with only a pair of 8s.... he's quite a fishy player, he bets small after my check so i decide to call his bet. I think if i don't lead it out with 2nd barrel, it's probably worse idea to check/call. best line bet/fold turn?if he calls check/fold river (K) ???

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

On turn he is still holding a lot of draws ( J7, J9, QJ, 95, 75,) and some pair+ gutshots. I don't like barrel 2nd time, because if we get re-raise then we have to fold our hand, but still vs this kind of opponent. i like check/call turn and re-evaluat on river.
In river none draws complete, he can make that line very wide range of hands, but still i think i would call that.

I agree entirely with this. When the K falls, it becomes quite tough for him to valuebet quite a few hands that are stronger than ours. So it makes a call a lot more attractive as an option.

BTW it helps that he also doesn't have too many Kx hands.
