NL50, min raised by L/P Fish NL50, min raised by L/P Fish

The villain here is very Loose/Passive running 30/3/0.8 over 100+ hands at the table. I was at this table for a while running a little stuck, so naturally I love my hand against this calling station, only he calls the flop and min raises the turn. On the river, I decide to gay-bet $7 because I felt he would just min raise me again, and it was the best way to see a showdown cheaply.

My question is how to play against these min raises from L/P opponents on dry boards. Should I just do what I did and try to get to showdown as cheaply as possible, or should I be running for cover? (Although I think folding is way too weak here) His AF is less than 1 at this table over 100+ hands, and his line (call, min raise, min raise) is not the norm from him. In general, how should I react to this "call, min raise turn" line from L/P villains with AF's of less than 1? How often does this min raising line from this type of opponent turn out to be a monster?

A raise on the turn means "I can beat TPTK". You can't.

Someone with an AF of less than one puts it "I can beat TPTK!!!"

Easy fold.

The title of this thread is all you need to know. Instant fold. Tempting as it may be, don't thank him for turning his set/full house face up with the minraise. We don't want to teach the fish how to play, after all

clear fold, even when the board is relatively dry, the min raise on the turn is usually a good indicator he has you beat
