Here villian is 53/0 over 17 hands.
My first question is......
1. When people encounter these 53/0 type players we say they are loose passive. If they start betting into you or call big bets what do people tend to assume? What do you all think when you meet a villian like this, perhaps that these players only tend to call with the goods?
2. I absolutely hate opponents that min-raise me. I find it extremely difficult to know what this means especially on the flop like example 1 below? My first thought is that this is a weak bet and I should raise again but as the villian is 53/0 the other half of my brain tells me that as he is so loose passive he probably doesnt know how to bet when he has a made hand and so this could well be strength. Furthermore how am I going to proceed if a blank hits the turn and he bets again. I am not going to want to call but surely if I dont want to call a turn bet then my action on the flop vs the min raise should be to fold. However I then think I don't wanna start folding to min raises as I dont want opponents to think they can just min raise me off any hand.
3. Thoughts on the hand, personally I though I played well PF and that was about it!

Here the villian is 92/0 over 12 hands.
Is shoving the turn standard after he has called the flop bet. I feel that yes it is as his range is so wide?
