This is a 340 dollar tourney. I have 40bb.

A weak passive middle aged white man whom has a monster stack because he gii 200bb w AKo vs AA and got runner runner flush to win it min opens 2bb from early position. mid position and button calls and I call from the sb with QhJh. The bb calls.

Flop comes Qd8s3c - six players 10bb. - I check, bb checks, orig raisers bets 7bb, hj and bu folds, I call, bb folds.

Turn comes 7c - heads up 24bb. He continues w 16bb. Hero?

If he's weak passive and leads out two streets in a row, on an uncoordinated board with no draws, it's very unlikely your hand is good. Seems like an easy fold.

Yeah, this is a marginal call at best against a balanced range. Against a weak passive player whose range is value heavy, fold.

Ask yourself questions before making an action. For instance, if you are contemplating a call, try to list the hands he is betting that you beat. If your read is correct, I can't really think of any realistic hands that he is betting that your hand is ahead. Will this weak passive player c-bet into 5 players on the flop and double barrel with air? The only draw possible on the turn is T9s/65s, but does a passive player raise or limp those preflop?

If you start listing out the possibilities in your head, it will guide you towards the right answer.

Id be folding the turn here, usually in these spots if we call turn we should be comfortable calling again on brick rivers too, dont think I would be here.
