if this is a true 'passive' player, then he will only show 54/flushes OTT when he leads, maybe exactly A7. they play their 2P+ fast OTF so that they 'avoid' being outdrawn

how do i tell if he's really passive ? his river agg% is 29% (bet river 30% and raise river 18%) what stats do you check ?

Part of being a solid SSNL winner is to find hero folds against passive players like this. I would probably play it the same way.

Ask yourself if he would take this line with AQo/AJo? Probably not right? He would c/c down all 3-streets. And would he turn a hand into a bluff here? Probably not either. So fold.

It hurts that you have TPTK and it might feel exploitable. But you are exploiting his passiveness by folding a worse hand. And he never knows you have AK here.

big papa says AK is better than AA because if you hit your par ,is smaller chance enemy hit hard the board,but i have big problem with my AK and miss play so many times ,the biggest leak i have when i hit par and on turn have flush draw and villian x/raise me.

Some advise for playing AK ,maybe some link with good article
