AK hand

It seems like these kind of situations come up fairly frequently so I wanted to see how i handled this one. Table is fairly passive preflop, button has been playing too many hands.

Although not an expert I would have played this the same. I would have gotten worried that a passive calling station decided to roar to life on the flop after calling the capped flop. There are a lot of hands that he could have made here with his play. Likely a JJ, 99, AJs or A9s. I'm leaning more towards JJ, seems like enough for a passive player to hang onto on the capped flop yet not raise it himself. I still would opt to just call him down on the turn and river because there are a lot of Axs type hands that you may see when you showdown.
