I also raise preflop.
Well, we're getting pretty good implied odds of almost 30x to call preflop, plus will be in position. But we're unlikely to make much money off him postflop with Axx flops if we're ahead (and will probably lose a little if behind). We just really need to so smash this flop. And with him being stationary, I just don't see us having too much FE postflop. Kinda dicey call, imo.
I also just call the flop. He's stationary and looks like he has an overpair. Let's just hit our hand and go to town then.
Ug, I was hoping we weren't going to hit an A.
I again just call. We could be good but we fear no draw, and we'd hate to be blown off ours, and a raise might just get him to fold worse (and there's always the chance we're up against AA).
On the river, we only have a little over a PSB left. We're basically behind one combo of AA (or can he have 99 / etc.) here? Is 54 really a possibility, I guess it depends on his preflop tendencies. Overall, he's described as passive, so I'm basically boiling things down to the only hand beating us being AA. He's never folding Ax (such as AK). He might sigh call with KK- given the pot size and the busted draw. So I *think* I get the rest in, with the one exception being that if he's one of the super passive players that has a preflop 3betting range out of the blinds of KK+.
ETA: I don't agree with everyone raising the flop. We're still quite deep and we're up against a passive station who just 3bet out of the blinds (i.e. should have very little FE). Let's just hit our hand, imo.
