    Default Check behind for pot control on turn? 100NL

    Villain was tight/passive. Only hand I'm beating from his range is two clubs, rest have me beat. I'm thinking of checking behind and folding to a 1/2 pot+ bet on river if miss atleast two pairs, but the way his been playing his checking AK/KQ on the river most times and betting out set/flush. Thats just my thinking, is it too weak? Just curious on what you guys out there would do?

    basic handreading would say he has TT-QQ a lot. why don't you feel these are in his range? Checking turn and betting river is an option, just do whatever you feel gets you the most value.
    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    I generally like betting this turn for ~$20 b/c a club on the river could kill your action from TT-QQ or make his hand. But if he's tight then checking behind turn and betting river might get more calls.
