Call down with set instead of shove?

[Oranzith]

Read is that villain is totally passive. I bet into him three times in a hand earlier in the session with TPTK turn straight, and we both showed AK.

This totally seems like the situation where you ought to just call the river, because no one calls a push with anythign we beat.

Given your read of tight passive nit, i dont see any problem with just calling. Its kind of weird that he just bet out on the river all the sudden. but unless he flopped the str8 im not sure what hes holding. maybe he turned or rivered a set himself....

but if your read is off even a little bit, and hes not a tight passive nit and is actually a calling station... i dont have a problem with getting it in.
