Okay, assume you're in the CO and you're looking at 55 in a typical .5/1 PS game.

1 limper behind you, we'll call him Passive Paul. He's your typical calling station, VPIP of around 35%, little if any PFR, and a low aggression factor.

You raise with the 55 from the CO, the blinds fold, and Passive Paul calls.

Given certain flop textures, how can I extrapolate the most money from Passive Paul in the long run?

How does the situation change if one of the blinds call?

I feel like one of my weaknesses if playing the baby pairs in late position. Here's an example.

1 limper in MP, Hero raises on the CO with 55, SB calls, MP calls

Flop: 37J rainbow

Check, check, bet, call, call

Turn: 6, completes rainbow

Check, check, bet, call, call

How else am I supposed to be playing this?
