$10HUSNG--What do you put him on?

[asg]

Reads: pretty passive, may be aggro becuase i've been taking a lot of pots down by being aggressive and w/o show down..dont nkow though, this is only the 15th or so hand. his style seems random...min raises/3x raises OOP and on the button.

This really really looks like a flush, I fold turn. The only thing going against this read is that you said he was passive and may check a FD on the flop.

Maybe a random A8/A3 type hand... but this really looks like a flush... and definitely isn't a hand you can beat. You only beat a bluff, and passive players do not 2-barrel ever. Fold turn. I'm not sure about the merits of calling vs. raising the flop... actually I probably lead for 40 instead of c/ring.

It looks a lot more like A8/A9 to me than a flush. I would say the average villain would tend to go for a check/raise after hitting the flush on the turn. The turn lead looks more like he is trying to protect his hand against a bad river card, rather than an attempt to get value out of his flush.

As played, RAISE PREFLOP. Flop raise is standard. Turn call is tough and I think calling is pretty spewy against opponents that aren't going to ever slow down on the river, so reads are extremely helpful here. River you have to give up without a solid read.
