weird play but I like the fold since you should get a lot of better spots to get money out of this guy and yes, raise more preflop.

I'd raise to 1 here preflop.
I think your raise on flop is fine, maybe make it a little more.

Sb has about 20 behind after his bet. The turn is a fold or shove and with only a pfa of 1 i'm leaning towards a fold.

I folded because this passive guy has shown aggression on two streets and we were 150 BB deep.

I usually raise to 3BB's in blind battles. Do you guys always raise 4BB ?

Yes, unless it's hu where i switch to 3. Still not sure what is best though at this level.

Probably a good fold considering his passiveness. I think we're up against T9, 54, or some other grappy suited combo like 95s a lot of the time. Like someone said, there are better spots.
