Default a CR semi-bluff

Villian is a little too average. Neither tight nor loose, good nor terrible, a little passive, LAG nor nitty. He's almost too much of a stereotypical small loser. We don't have much history, and he probably does not know much about me.

If villian has ANY tendency, it's to be passive.

Party 5/10 full ring, 1000$ stacks.

I open A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] UTG for 40$, villian calls UTG+1

pot 95
flop J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
-- I bet 75, villian min-raises, I call
-- His raise was insta, and I had never seen it before. I would imagine he has Jx or a set most of the time here.

I decided not to 3-bet because only his sets call, and I get no more value out of Jx. Plus, if I flush on the turn, I can work on getting the money in and stacking if he has a set.

Turn T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (pot 350)
-- Hero checks, villian bets 200, Hero pushes (580 more)

I thought the turn T was a VERY good card. I picked up additional outs, it is very unlikely to have helped villian (I would expect him to have AJ/KJ much more than JT), and now even TT beats him if I was being stubborn with a good pair on the flop.

Is this very standard or is a flop 3-bet better?

If he's passive I doubt he bets that turn with Jx once u call the min-raise.

With flop gay raise and turn bet for just over half pot, looks like passive player likes his hand. He's giving you direct odds to call to your 12 outs on turn, so I call.
