Default What to do on the turn?

Villain is quite passive. He will bet top pair but switches to call-down mode if raised. He tends to slowplay sets or better. I thought there was some chance he would fold top pair to an all-in raise on the flop but not always. Also, I thought there was a fair chance that he give me a free card on the turn if I just called; so that is what I did

What are good options after he leads the turn?
What range do you put him on?

I'd just call, seems like he has a big enough hand to pay you off if you hit river.

Calling the flop is fine. You don't have to semi-bluff raise all of your draws.

You have a monster draw on the turn, but I think you have very little fold equity. A passive villain firing both the flop and the turn looks strong.

Also, I don't think he's deep enough to justify a call here. I'm not exactly sure what the odds are, but you probably complete your draw like one in four times and you have to call $12. He has $31 behind. Calling would be very marginal. You would have to stack him 100% of the time when you hit to make calling +EV.

we have 15 outs (2:1 to hit on the river) and we're getting 2.33:1 odds on a turn call.

In retrospect, that is what I am wondering if I should have done.
In the hand I re-raised enough to put him in, he called with AhQh and I won when my straight hit the river.

The thing is that I am not at all sure I get payed enough when I hit and villain has a made hand to make calling +EV. Raising must have some fold equity for it to be correct. But if villain calls my raise, all-in, here with overcards and the nut flush draw then raising must have pretty much 0 fold equity against his made hands. So what options are left?

assuming our outs are clean, you're getting direct odds to call the turn, and you have implied odds most of the time as well. also, 6 of your 15 outs are well disguised.

So do you have villain as most likely on an overpair or AT?
