Villain is 20/14 and passive. He's not very good and he folds to flop bets 57.9% of the time

I'm more interested in why you do whichever action.

If we check turn and villain bets, then what?
If villain checks behind, what's our plan on the river?

This looks like a standard bet/fold to me, but although this would seem ideal, I always find that villain raises/folds in this spot and never calls. Obviously, neither are good.

[carrotsnake]

will, just pointing out, but then the fact that you have a set means bupkis if your playing it that way, doesn't it ? Not exactly optimal &lt;3

think you have to bet here to protect against lone [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] if he raises he's got a flush and see what the pots layin.

If we do that we'll always be getting 2.5 to 1 and will always be paying off the flush. Is that counter balanced by the times he calls holding just a Q?

bet/fold seems bad to me. We're 20% to fill on the river. That combined with many non flush hands and the size of the pot are why I'm thinking this.

[MasterLJ]

What about checking?

I think a lot of bad players check behind with flushes even IP. Sometimes they bet ridiculously small as well.

That was my original thought, it just seemed kinda weak so I didn't post it. The fact that he folds so often on the flop really limits is range, imo. I think checking is the best option here.

I checked...

Hero checks, BTN checks

Hero ???

I have some interesting thoughts about the river. What do you guys do?

20 on the river, and if he's passive I'd sigh then probably fold to a raise.
