NL50 slowplay this villain?

[Johnes Benjamin]

Villain was running at 61/10/.6 over 150 hands.
I would normally raise this immediately to try and build up a big pot against an A. However, I didn't know about this spot. Villain has played so passively so far his bet on the flop seemed much more like he was trying to take me off a hand, I didn't feel as though he would come out and pot the flop with any A other than a very weak one he was uncomfortable with.

Of course, b/c he is passive he hasn't bluffed a lot so I can't expect him to necessarily fire multiple barrels.
What do you guys think of just calling this flop?

Hero wonders if villain needs to hang himself here

I would raise here unless villain likes to fire multiple barrels (from his stats he probably does not).

If he has a weak ace he's probably not folding to a flop raise, so raise.

If he has total air it's unlikely that he'll make a hand that he can lose more money with, since the highest card (ace) is already out there.

Raise it up

[illini43]

Usually super loose passive players won't bet the pot on the flop unless they really like it. This is a goos spot to raise to get some value and build the pot for bets on later streets.

As SABR said, if he doesn't have anything, he probably isn't putting any more money in the pot, so you should build the pot while you have a chance in the case he does have something.

I don't like getting fancy with donk, raise it up and take it.
