Villain is loose passive, no further read

This screams strength to me, especially from a passive person. It looks like he has a flush or a boat... but yet he could perhaps be doing this w/ a naked J and since he mini-raised we have great odds. So no, I don't think we should fold now. I would probably call turn and c/c blank river.

NO

Are you winnar @ 10/20? yo

You can find a fold here. Tough to do so without at least calling and seeing a river, but let's consider the possibilities here.

House or higher flush, you're drawing dead. Given the flop call and turn min raise from a passive player, entirely possible.

Jx? If so, he may have a hand like JcQd etc, which is going to get there against you a fair amount of the time. Would also make sense with his line.

We don't crush anything. Pretty damn unlikely he has a lower flush and he's have to be a robust uberdonk to minraise the turn with a naked Ace or Jx with no diamond. I really don't think you fare well against his range.

Fold preflop, if he had a full stack calling is not that bad even though 3-betting or folding prolly is best.

Push the turn, even though folding might have slightly higher EV you def dont lose very much by getting it in there vs a 50bb stack. Since he is passive I prefer pushing to calling and c/c any blank river.

Ah, didn't notice he was a shorty... this makes it an easy push. But against a 100bb stack I would prefer calling turn and c/c blank river.

Ya with the stack sizes calling turn and c/cing river would be pretty nasty. If you call turn then push river instead of going for a c/c.

Turn is a push though!

[FireStorm]

If he has 47 BB's preflop, just fold to his p/f raise. As played I also didn't notice he was short, so I suppose you can get the money in here. I'd be surprised if you have any shipped back in front of you though.

[FabledHero]

Because of the fact you lead the flop I don't think you can fold. Even though he's loose passive, he may have a jack, he has a halfstack he's obviously a losingplayer, I think we have to felt this.
