Re: 25NL - A9s suited in SB against very passive player
The turn is a pretty easy bet against a loose-passive player. He'll call if he picked up a one-card flush draw, and he may call again with whatever pair he had on the flop even if he has no draw. And if he made a flush, well, he may even break character and raise you on the turn. (Plus, if you did get to checkraise a made flush, you'd probably discover that the bet you got to checkraise was a teeny little $0.50 bet that was designed to keep you in.)
Preflop, raising is certainly an option. It's not such fun playing ace-high OOP versus someone who doesn't like to fold, but getting the TAG out of the hand has its merits, your hand is probably better than Button's, and often he'll let you get to showdown with your ace-high and you'll win that way.
