please bet the flop what are you waiting for, him to move you off the hand? c/c turn fold river.

Not c-betting this flop is pretty neutral, and more about pot control OOP for me here.

I have 2nd pair on a drawy board OOP vs a passive player. I could easily have him crushed w/2nd pair here, but I don't get value from him by c-betting and getting him to fold hands i beat.

Checking this flop OOP gives me a smaller more manageable pot on the turn, and should make decisions easier for us with regards to the hand.

I don't like this. I think you do get value from him, the guy judging by his stats will call with bottom pair and lots of draws. Checking to him also gives him the initiative, he could be betting because you looked weak, he may bet draw, he may bet big hand. Betting helps define his hand a bit more.
