Is Hero c/cing the whole way in some sort of hope the Villain will stop betting at some point? I definitely like the passive play here once Hero checks the flop, but why not lead this flop?

The hand kind of illusrated why this passive line is good. Btw, if villain is a fullstack then the turn is a standard check-fold.
