Standard no? I was somewhat tempted to make a move on the turn bc i really don't think he can have an ace. Villain is loose/passive but will bluff. I've had some hands recently so he might view me as a bully.

If villain is genuinely passive and will only rarely bluff, this is an easy fold. If he will bluff quite frequently when weakness is shown to him (which means he isn't passive), then being oop here is troublesome. If you check the turn, he will bet. If you bet the turn, he will call with an A or without and probably bet the river when checked to. So either way you are getting in a nasty spot with horrible reverse implied odds. That's why TT is the hand that I genuinely hate the most. Moreover the board is quite coordinated so there are many ways you can be beat already. I get away from this hand ASAP.

Standard check and fold, esp. vs. a loose passive player who may already have a straight.
