With your chipstack this is a prime opportunity to double up. You are way ahead of his range and your bet looks bluffy. I shove here 99% of the time and Im happy about it.

You have top two pair and you arent exactly building manhatten with your chips. Pooooosh.

If your opponent is so passive, why the heck would you check this flop to him?? Definitely a push either way. You're ahead of lower two-pairs, and a super-passive player like him probably would probably rather trap you if he has a straight.
