    Default Is this spew?

    I've been dominating this guy all game. He's VERY loose passive. Its taking nothing more than raise pf - c-bet to take down basically every hand I'm in the SB. He's only raised about twice all game and min-raised those, and this is first time he's 3-bet me ever. As far as I know he's never bet without something on further streets and I've seen no bluffs. In fact a few times he's checked down middle pair on the hands I dont bet. There have however been a few hands he's called my c-bet and then folded to a 2nd barrel on the turn. Feedback on every street? Looking back with the way I'm doing against him I dont think I need to make risky plays like this...

    I would fold pf since you're very easily dominated by a tight 3 bet range, Flop raise is fine i guess to find out where you're at. Turn and river should be c/f though.

    Yeah, it was one of those dumb hands where I ignore my PF intentions. With only a min-raise PF I figured it was worth the call and see if I either flop 2-pair, or can take it off him on the flop if he misses. The reason I pushed turn (against all my plans) was his min-bet on the flop and flat call of my raise and then turn check. He just hasnt struck me as a trappy player and from him it seemed weak. Then again, his min-raises and passive play dont exactly discount the possibility he'll play a big hand weakly.

    Villian folded. I suspect he had something like KK or QQ, but perhaps he's paranoid and I pushed him off a better A kicker. As soon as the hand was done I thought it was probably spew that just worked out this time.
