I like raising the flop, when in position. If you're called, you can shutdown and control the size of the pot or you can value bet the turn and play defense on the river, or bet it as ewll. If you're reraised, you can dump the hand safely.

Only bad part about this is that you won't gain as much value from a villain bluffing an 9 or something, but I think calling down is somewhat of a mistake.

dont really like raising the flop against this villan. if he were more aggro, sure, but when you have a super passive leading into you, i prefer calling down. theres not a tremendous amount of value in raising here and i doubt hes leading into us with straight draws.

calling down here is the best way for pot control imo. the river is close but i might be inclined to throw out a 1/2 pot bet.
