    Default $50NL KK, passive player showing aggression

    UTG is 20/4 passive...when he c/r me on the flop i thought set, or something like Q9+ and perhaps Ad2d, i dont think this type of player would c/r me with Adxd, when he lead out on the turn, i called simply because i wasnt sure if i was ahead or not and figured that was probably my best option, then he checks the river, i thought about betting but checked behind incase i got c/r. thoughts?

    also i didnt actually think of this as i was playing the hand..but say he flopped a set, why would he lead out on the turn? he just boated up, surely my hand range must contain flush draw? - assuming villain thinks, i dont know if he does or not....

    Nice hand, I would play it the same. He could be testing you on the flop with a pocket pair 66-QQ, depending on how much he's seen you C-bet. A set is also a good part of his range since he's passive.

    A flush draw isn't that likely in a head-up pot, a bet makes perfect sense IMO, he wants value against an overpair, assuming he has a set.
