Villian is 50/4 over about 15 hands.

What's your move here and plan for rest of hand?

call, get more value on turn.

villain has a king with low kicker very often here.. probably 95% of the time, the other 5% he has the lone seven.. and probably has you outkicked :P

Flat call this raise and check-raise about 3-4 of the pot on the turn, lead the river. If the Villian doesn't bet after you check, lead for about 3-4 of the pot on the river if you catch good.

Most of the time I am calling his raise and then going for a check raise, because there are no draws on the flop.

However, what do people think of calling the raise and then leading the turn? I think it gets checked through on the turn against a passive opponent like this a LOT.

[Suaimhnea]

The flop bet changed the tone of the hand, but as the hand is played, I think a 2-3 pot-sized bet on the turn will get called and that will basically close your action. After calling a 2-3 pot-sized bet on the turn, I doubt a passive opponent will call anything more than a 1-4 pot-sized bet on the river.
