Played the Parx Big Stax $500.  Lots of loose passives at my table. Early on down to 30,000 after qq< k5 and aa< qj, blinds 250/500.  Guy who looks like the dude from Harold and Kumar who did the dinosaur sounds raises utg to 2000.  Not a lot of reads, but he's taking forever for every decision and is running around 80/20.  Another loose passive in mid position (playing fit /fold ) calls.  I have jj.  I just call thinking that I can outplay them both postflop and dont want to bloat the pot knowing that they will both call any reraise.  Flop is 10 10 7.  Harold and Kumar bets 4000.  Mid position folds.  Big bet sizes make me worried about a bigger pocket pair, so I decide to represent the ten and float till the river then jam.  Turn 6.  Bet 4000 I call.  River 4, He bets 4000, I jam 16000.  He tanks for 10 min saying “I cant believe you called me with a ten”.  Then calls with….  pocket 5's.  Thoughts?

My main thought is that I should watch Harold and Kumar.

My secondary thought is to go find this Parx casino.

On the hand itself, I don't mind flatting pre-flop, you didn't say your position, if there were a lot of potential callers behind you I would probably like a 3-bet more. I think the bet size is very telling. Weak players often keep betting the same when their hand doesn't improve. They feel compelled to bet but don't feel confident in their hand.  The call on the river is probably villain deciding that his bet sizes were weak and you could be using that to bluff him.
