    This is a standard spot to call down w Ak ui, correct? Villain is loose- passive preflop and has shown some aggression postflop since I've sat down.

    I dont see how this is standard without a proper read. You say opp is passive preflop and he raises UTG. I think he has a PP like TT/JJ/QQ since he "valuebet" the river or he minraised something like 67s preflop (donk preflop line) making a straight draw and a pair on the flop when he called you.

    I don't think he takes this line with missed overs. If he is bluffing, he keeps the pedal on the gas for the turn with a bet. The turn check looks a lot like a PP controlling the size of the pot. He may fear a turn raise with you repping AA or KK.
    Although it is your read. With the right read, I will do this, but It is usually against a player I know well enough.
    Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

    Minraise preflop doesn't tell me anything (besides betraying some donkishness) about villain's holdings. I figured likely hands were 77, j-10, A7, QJ. Somehow I think he's gonna play QQ-JJ stronger on flop since he's shown post flop aggression.

    I posted because I just felt that this was pretty easy when hand unfolded. I should have specified that villain had shown river aggression in particular in earlier hands.

    yay villain had A7... point was not to post because of result, important thing was to see if this looked standard or not.

    Guess it's not all that standard. Luckbox-ish call.
