How about an off suit A or K, and the K or Ace of clubs?

K or A of clubs are an easy check - easier than other clubs, because I don't ever expect him to fold a club and now we pull ahead of his one pair hands. Value jamming offsuit A or K

You could've cbet something like 350-400. He's TP so you know he can't stand much pressure and that flop likely did not hit him.
Yeah, even something like 150-200 will usually scare nits from trying to realize their equity.

Yes, he's passive so he might not bluff, but it's still nice to just have him fold his air, or maybe even some small pair type hands that we beat (I've seen weak opponents mini-3bet small-medium pairs quite regularly)

If he check/calls, we're virtually assured that he will check the turn, and we can decide to take a free card if we choose (whereas if we check the flop, he'll often bet into us on the turn).

Also, while 197 is in fact a small sizing into a pot of 700, it looks a lot more menacing than a bet of 200, and I expect our opponent to react more honestly, raise us a bite less often, and fold a bit more often

Pls explain how 197 looks more menacing than 200?
