no reads here..lots of new faces at 25NL. (20/1/0) over 30 hands.

Is this a leak? I'll cbet unless I have a reason not to, get called, and pick something up on the turn and bet.

I take a turn check as a default, but that may not be the best play are your limits. Being that he is probably tight and passive, I think a c/r allows you to fold safely, so I think a bet is fine. You may want to bet a little bit less so that he might continue calling with worse hands(pair of T's or K's).

The bet is fine along with the sizing. c/r announces that you are beat especially from a passive villain and you lose value from this calling station if you check behind on the turn.

I wouldn't call him a calling station. You don't have the number of hands or really any reason to believe that he is going to call you down light. He may just call a few hands that he should have bet, but that doesn't mean he is calling hands that he should fold.

Agreed I'm just suggesting that a typical passive NL25 villain will call many hands that we currently beat on the turn. Station may be a bit strong of a characterization
