villain is 18/4, passive, esp pf likes to limp in anywhere with hands like AJo and TT

ive been fairly active on the table, running at 23/13/7 basically taking lots of pots postflop. only one other person has really been too, thats morecakeplz

once the flop gets checked around i think my hand is the best but the turn card isnt that good for me.

is not betting the flop standard? table seems sort of tight/passive-ish, and i havent shown anything crazy from my EP raises

im trying to learn full ring too, to prepare for live play in the future

consider checking the turn. even if your hand is the best, 90% of the deck sucks for you if called or raised, and you're oop against 4 other players... I'd rather check/call or c/r the turn (depending on relative position, etc.) and bet the river.

and careful, fullring live is rigged.

Bet the flop. QK QJ QT 9J 9T 8T will call, don't give free cards to hands that will fold like, AT AJ KJ KT.

Check the river, CO either isn't paying you - 8T 9T 86 76 - is raising legit - KJdd KTdd 86dd 8Tdd - or given your bet size may bluff raise you. I would expect it to get checked behind most often, if he does against this opponent i can't imagine a bluff here.

I like your line, fold to a raise obv.

yve, bet the flop. with that many players in the pot pretty much any turn card is going to be nasty. KQ will call you there and most players at full ring arent going to try to bluff you off your hand, with that many other people in the pot. you can comfortably fold to a raise.
