Re: Too passive or played perfectly
I agree that if you're looking for quick heuristics for multitabling you're probably better off shuffling this into the 'fold' column. It's only because the pfr made the pot big, *and* the flop action gets you heads-up with that big pot for only one more SB, that the math works out. By way of comparison, if everyone limps preflop or for that matter if you check the flop and get bet into (rather than the bet/raise we saw), or if UTG+1 stays in the pot, or someone else were left to act after you, the situation would be much worse.
So anyway, I wouldn't peel this flop as part of 'normal play'. A lot of conditions apply. But more generally I think it's a mistake to focus exclusively on the money you might lose at showdown and ignore the money you lose by folding incorrectly when an aggressive player blows you out of a pot.
