    Default Top two pair vs semi/tight passive

    Hows my line?

    Villain is 24/8/1 over 1100 hands, with an agg on every street of 1 or less. Also, I have zero credibility and a pretty horrid image.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button ($99.50)
    SB ($103.85)
    Hero ($100)
    UTG ($152.95)
    MP ($43.35)
    CO ($105.70)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with T, 5.
    UTG calls $1, MP calls $1, 1 fold, Button calls $1, SB completes, Hero checks.

    Flop: ($5) 2, T, 5 (5 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $3, UTG raises to $9, MP folds, Button folds, SB folds, Hero calls $6.

    Turn: ($23) A (2 players)
    Hero checks, UTG bets $14, Hero calls $14.

    River: ($51) J (2 players)
    Hero checks, UTG bets $21, Hero calls $21.

    Final Pot: $93

    UTG has limped, then re-raised on a pretty uninspiring flop. I think you see a set here far too often to make the turn and river calls profitable.

    I 3bet flop here almost always. As played ur line is fine i guess.

    I might 3 bet flop but otherwise probably play it the same way in a real time situation...
    But looking at it slightly longer I don't see many hands we beat that a passive player is raising(min) on the flop & betting with on every street all be it +-1/2 pot bets.
    On flop maybe A10 K10, limped AA,KK,QQ,JJ? 34s? Any other 10 might raise
    But on turn A10 is beating us as is AA. & I don't see a passive player firing out on turn & river with JJ,QQ,KK,K10(+any other 10) 34s etc.
    So it looks like a set or A10, but I still don't know if I find a fold anywhere when I'm actually playing that hand.

    raise to 20, fold to a push might not be terrible against a really, really weak-tight guy
