I think I'd call, although though he's quite passive this could easily just be trips and he thinks he has the best hand.

UTG is calling station? Hmm the only hand you loose to is a boat. This would be easier if villain had a higher total AF and if the hand weren't so deep. Although this would have been a weird way to play a set, since there are so many draws on the flop, it is possible given villains stats. Have you seen him make such a big raise before? I am torn here between call/fold. Two pair and set typically wouldn't play like that, but villain is so passive... I don't feel good about folding the straight here though.

edit: I think I would fold. Do we think that villain would think that his trips are good enough here to raise so much with? Maybe, given his stats he probably doesn't have much understanding of the game. Do we think that villain would bluff here? Very unlikely since he is so passive. Since villain isn't expected to bluff here, we only beat trips. I don't expect a passive player to be playing anything less in that manner. I think it is close without any further information, so I fold.
