Villain was super loose passive.

68/0 after 30 odd hands. he had been bluffing like it was going out of fashion!

I think I wouldn't cbet against a cs on a connected mid flop. They like calling with gutshot, it's like nuts to them
As played your line is fine (not a pro of odds but 10:1 should be enough for an overcard+gutshot ?)

Less inclined to c-bet vs this guy and that flop looks good for him.

I'd check fold flop, considering the range of hands that is calling here. sick flop though.

Is folding preflop bad here? Out of position in a limped pot super early in a non-turbo, and it's just AQo.

think limp or raise pf is ok, maybe a bit less to about 150.

I'd check a flop like this vs such an opponent.

Turn call seems ok.

I don't like raising preflop here, especially if you know they aren't going anywhere. I'd just complete and play a disguised hand if I hit. Plus you'll be out of position the rest of the hand. After that, I'd c/fold the flop against calling stations.

As played I don't like the cbet against LP opponents, but the turn call is fine. For Nick, he needs about 6:1 (7 outs X 2 = 14, 85/14 = 6), so 10:1 is obv okay for a call in terms of pot odds. But then there's the whole chasing draws in a STT thing that I hate.

Passive villains do not tend to bluff like its going out of fashion.
Post Flop really depends on whether he is Loose/Passive or Loose/Aggressive ?

Either way Preflop raise here for value as we are miles ahead of his calling range.

I would call this guy Loose/Bad and Given that extra info I would check/fold that flop, but check/call if he bets something ******ed like t30 or t60.

I would have just called preflop.

As played, I prolly make the c/bet and then check/fold the turn to a bet. I still have t1200 and the blinds are at 15/30. I am done with this hand.
