Can you find a push in you here? This player is typical of this level... super passive and doesnt like to release AQ type hands.

You think too deep to be thinking about shoving here. It seems you get looked up with AK, AJ, AT, A9, he could have easily have hit any pair with any sort of hand he has here and be calling down, most players call down with a lot of PPs here unless you've been playing very conservatively. Also a queen is in his range somewhat. I'm not as concerned about the queen as the other PPs he could have though.

I don't think this is a good push against your typical 5 dollar player. With some reads, it can definitely be. As played, I might be inclined to say with a very thin read to go ahead since you be out the turn already.

Generally that half min raise is a sign of strength from these players IMO. At the very least it narrows their hand down to an ace or PP. Most of those are calling on this board from your average 5 dollar player.

If he's super passive then you could just fold on the flop and then just keep winning all those small pots that he'll let you have. He sounds like the type of player who very rarely reraises preflop and when he does it's nearly always with a decent hand.

And if he folds alot preflop, raise alot.
