Post less hands and try to find more interesting ones instead with more accurate reads and history.

As for the hand I often check the turn.

Why should we check turn?
He seldom has a better hand here and Villain is passive,sohe could have a weaker A quite often.

I'm not against checking the flop. If I'm betting the flop I'm checking the turn because I don't think we can get 3 streets of value here and be good that often against a guy thats passive postflop.

Oh and if Im checking either turn or flop I'm like usually calling any reasonable river bet.

I like checking turn too, then calling his river bet, or betting if checked to. This can often induce bets from hands that would give up to a 2nd barrel, and you lose the minimum when youre behind. You say he's passive, but do you really think he's just going to call down 3 barrels an Ace or worse?

Ok, i get the point of checking turn and think it`s best.
I really have to admit that.
What are we doing now?

Check turn, if he makes a reasonable bet call. If he checks, I would bet. If he c/r's river, it sucks, depending on the river, but youre almost definitely beat.

jesus christ, can you be more results oriented? if villain is a donk we can stack him on this board and we need to bet the turn. as played, i don't like this min-raise but I cannot find a fold on the turn and push it.

I am now very glad having posted it, because i now can fix what was perhaps a leak.

I am not sure if i misplayed turn here always, but still it`s worth reading it.
