Not a lot of history with villain, but he is really tight and passive after the flop. Hes opening his button 70% and cbetting around 50% This is the only hand that has gone to showdown so far, the rest have not gone to flop or he has been check folded on the flop. I have been fairly aggressive taking down a lot of small pots.

There is definitely value in a bet and I don't see villain bluff raising in this spot, so b/f'ing about half pot is fine imo.

yeah i like b/f river here, and id make it about 23/24 giving you enough space to fold to shove

Pretty much what i thought, i bet $21 and he called with 73hh. He was so tight though, im not sure he calls without the heart on the river. Anyways, could different reads change your line on the river. I mean are we good to get it in against a more aggro player? would you ever check?

If you think that villain won't call with weaker 2 pairs, you should definitely check. Your line is very strong, so against hand readers who are reluctant to make loose calls I will check.
But against a passive fish who doesn't know what he is doing we can't afford to check such hands imo.

We're never good to get it in against pretty much any villain, since your line is so strong and villain bet/calling turn he won't have a bluffing range hardly ever.
