how pasive and how loose is heBecause its either:Bet and get called by lots of pocket pairsOr something like T9 orbet and get called by A8Would he bet/raise a better Ace on flop?Would he have folded a 66 on the turn?Easy fold if he raises (unless read is he's a nut job), so the you only have to be good 50% to bet, when he calls. He won't call with missed draws, which likely make up a decent proportion of his holdings now.So, the looser he is, the more likely I am to bet.If he's SUPER PASSIVE and not really loose, I may check, expecting a better Ace too often.

Check behind is good.This will be a missed gut shot/flush draw too often for a bet to have any value, and you will lose often when called.

I like the check, too. Only plausible hand he calls down with (that you beat) is a missed draw... and he'll only call a river bet if he backed into a pair along the way. Jeff
