Pokerstars 10r. Villain has been plaing a pretty passive game. He's 23/6 over 30 hands in this 10r and it's mostly shallow (as you can see by the stack sizes). I open light here which i guess is debatable but I've been pretty snug and should not be looked up too light so I try to sneak one in.

On the flop we c-bet and he flats. I expect him to maybe have some overcards or a 5 or 7…maybe a draw. Definitely nothing strong.

My question is do we just jam here on the turn and put him to the test with a few outs here if we're behind. Or do you just see another free card and jam the river if he checks again? This is definitely a weakness in my game so your thoughts are appreciated.

In the past I thought it would look pretty spewy to shove here. But now, I don't know. Though it would certainly

put him to the test, isn't it apparent we don't want a call if we shove?

Tough spot imo, cause if he's putting you on AK(which seems so common, maybe im wrong) and is playing the role of passive call station then maybe they look you up regardless of whether you jam or make another “value” looking bet to set up a “value” looking shove on the river which imo looks stronger yet how are they looking at it??? + it may not work. Peel a freeB and bink the river str8.Just my 2 cents sprinkled w/ a grain of salt cause I get in these spots too and have yet to feel comfy in them.

Yeah … I'm not sure I like jamming here. It looks so much like AK/you don't want to be called.

I think if he has a pair he'll feel committed to calling on a harmless turn. his pre-flop and flop calls come out to close to 25% if his stack. And he has just barely over the size of the pot left behind on the Turn. I think he calls a lot here.

I like when I dont have to retype what Im thinking…..it looks a lot like AK here.
