Villain is playing rather tight, passive, and predictable poker and I haven't seen him get it in without the goods over at least a hundred hands. This is the second time this has happened to me today and I'm really bad at making these decisions. Easy fold?
Is this a fold readless?

If this happened to me in a game I would fold.

But for some reason I have a feeling most people are going to say push, I'd like to hear why if thats the case.

If he's been tight and passive and he's going nuts on a scary board, you should probably fold. You only beat like AQ/KQ/QJ, and some random bluffs with the K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] but he's passive so he's probably not semi-bluffing here ever.

Probably just pitch it.

I've been in this spot a few times. I find it's best to c/c the turn. It sucks to get raised off the hand on the turn with an overpair and NFD. You may well be ahead here, you don't need to bet to protect yourself from draws, there really aren't any scare cards.

Aren't any scare cards? Remember TJ suited is the nuts for some players.
