Bluff this turn and river?
 
BB seems fairly straight forward so far. He has limped and cold called a bit. I haven't seen him raising often. He has peeled and folded a lot as well. I have been raising a lot this session.

I like. If he has a small pp, or 5x,4x type hands, he should have a tough time calling this down. May as well put him to the test. He could also have J6,Q6, or busted clubs that beat you.

People who limps and coldcalls and then donk this kind of flop isnt folding a better hand in my experience. I'd just call turn and fold river UI

I agree that the turn was probably spew against this player type because I need the A on the river to get him to fold. I think once the A hits on the river though I have to bet. If I just called the turn I would have checked through the river (nobody every believes you have it on the river if you've been passive the whole way.) The thing about the turn though is I have a lot of outs and the possibility of a scare card (so you can basically count the As as outs.) So basically this was a good board for a semi-bluff, but I didn't have the right player type to pull it off enough of the time.

I like it. I think a read is important here, but even against an unknown I think it's fine. If I knew the guy had a low wtsd% I think this is a great play.

Have you seen this player showdown a flopped flush draw? Did he play it passively? As a default, I think the player you describe can certainly be capable of playing draws this way.

I hate it.

It always costs 3 bets. Hands that you actually DO fold out you can profitably call against, no?

I'm trying to fold out small pairs on the river, which I think is fine given how I've played. I know I say the guy is loose passive, but that board is likely to have hit me, if not on the turn, then the river. I do agree that if he's on a draw I probably have the best hand and the turn and river are good hands for me. Is this a case where, if I had called the turn, I could probably call the river because the A makes it more likely he's bluffing? If he had top pair on the flop, for example, he would probably check the river.
