2NL 6max AK nut flush - extraction

[daviddem]

Villain is a 53/6 passive half-stacked whale, chases a lot.

I bet small on the flop because I really really want a call and to rep some weakness.

The turn is bingo. I let some time pass before checking and took even longer to call his bet.

1) Was it OK to check/call the turn?

2) What on the river?

More pre, more flop, bet turn, shove river.

Sizing pre won't change his range
Flop size probably won't change his range since he'll never fold any big spades or pair + 1 spade.
Turn is just basically lets extract from all his pair + spades that just got there
And River you want to get hero'd cuz he's a passive moron and there should be like 1/2-2/3 PSB left if you sized pre/flop correctly

[daviddem]

Did you see that he has only half a stack? 1/2 pot on the flop, 1/2 pot on the turn and he has 2/3 pot behind on the river.

edit: I agree that size does not matter much: when they want to call, they call. I was more worried about not showing too much strength.

[spoonitnow]

If he's so passive then why are you checking into him on the turn?

[daviddem]

Because I hope he has a decent spade and he is going to spazze. If he checks behind I still have a chance to get his stack on the river. I was worried that if I bet he would fold everything that has not a spade in it.

Maybe it's dumb and I should bet-bet-bet.

Should also have said that i have seen him fold to second barrels a couple of times before.

[kmind]

Bet flop more! Look at your read! Why are you confident a passive player will bluff? Ahhh didn't see that spoon already took care of that. If he folds to second barrels but bets everytime we check it to him I doubt he's so passive. Most passive players will call a turn bet with a wider range than bet when checked to.

[Carroters]

His calling range is lol wider than his betting range on the turn.

bigger pre, flop is ok - bigger is good if utg has more than 50bb, it's fine vs 50bb.
bet turn
river bet 61c as played obviously, not even close

It's a little close. I'd probably bet 62c. Anything else though is not close.
