p.s. he's not passive

This is probably the most important aspect of this thread. Anyone who thinks this guy is passive is gonna make lots of ftop mistakes in these type of spots.

As far as the actual hand, I would just check/call the flop with the intention of playing passively the whole hand and showing down unless the board gets really ugly.

Theres two main reasons why I like a passive approach.

1) Taking an aggressive action and possibly facing more aggression from this guy is going to be impossible to handle correctly.

2) This guy looks like a classic terrible player. This means theres a good chance that he wont even understand what our flop call+turn call mean so he'll still make plenty of mistakes on the turn/river if we take a passive line. And this is exactly what we want to happen. We minimize our mistakes in this hand by taking a passive line while at the same time our villain still makes plenty of mistakes cuz he sux at poker and doesnt understand what were up to.

It would be nice if we could always take passive lines like this but we cant becuz there are so many competent opponents out there who will value pound us to death when were losing and give us the minimum when were winning. So when were lucky enough to be against a bad player and we have a marginal hand OOP, start check/calling down with confidence knowing the bad player will trip over his own two feet quite often.
