Party $50NL - bottom two vs resistance from loose passive

[c_strong]

Villain is 36/6/1 after 200+ hands with a WSD of 30%. I can't quite get a handle on his post flop play, but he generally seems to be a calling station, except that he often bets quite big on the river. I'm playing TAG but am not catching much and have folded to his river bets a couple of times.

A few hands he's played this session (on a different table where he's directly to my left):

I open from the button, he calls with A9 from the SB, he check/calls a 5 8 9 flop and the turn 6 and river 6 are checked down.

I open from the button, he calls from the SB, he check/calls pot on a T Q K two suited flop, and bets the pot on an offsuit J turn, I fold.

On to the hand:

$50 NL Texas Hold'em
Hero is SB with $49.10
BB $60.66
UTG $43.96
MP Villain $119.16
CO poster $15
Button $50


Dealt to Hero [ 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ]
UTG calls [$0.50].
Villain calls [$0.50].
CO times out
Button folds
Hero calls [$0.25].
BB checks.

Pot $2.50

Hero bets [$2].
BB calls [$2].
UTG folds
Villain raises [$8]

What's my action? And if I'm neither folding nor pushing, what's my plan for the rest of the hand?

Make it 18, BB folds, villain calls, get it in on any turn.

Facing such a coordinated board oop, you need more than 4 clean outs to continue.

I think hero is ahead a lot of the time.
Besides, there's always the backdoor flush

I guess the strength of the loose passive read really matters here. If I'm sure he's passive, I let it go.

Hmm, after rereading the OP I think you are right.
Except for one thing:
Some players, though generally passive, tends to play TPTK fast on boards with a flush draw (though they never worry about a straight for some reason).
FWIW, this guy could be one of those people.

PS: I suck at playing two pair, and bottom two especially so

I really hate this hand. A lot.

Isn't this likely an over pair trying to protect itself? I think a reraise is for Hero's stack but I can't see getting away from this.

But then again my winrate is exactly 0 over the past month or so, so maybe I don't know what the hell I'm talking about...

[viper930]

He didnt raise preflop so an overpair is less likely. I call here and see what he does on the turn. If im gonna get it in, I'll do it on the turn.

Fold, your dont know what good outs you have and you are probably not going to be payed of if you improve to a straight, most likely you are drawing to 2 good outs (so you get payed off)
