AJ as TP. Fold or call down?

[Akimka]

Would you play it diferintly (check-fold on turn or call down to SD?)

Villain is loose (vpip 50) passive (pfr 0) for 16 hands.

I would bet the turn and call down if raised. I hate your fold, as I think that MP2 will bluff enough to really make you feel stupid. I also think that check-folding is atrocious.

I don't like your turn play. I'd bet out. Villain is passive. You're giving him a free card with any club or a worse ace. This is not just a chance to outdraw you, it's a missed bet if you win the hand.

After you check, if he has a hand worth betting (he's passive!) I would not be proud enough of my AJ to check-raise. You open yourself up to a 3-bet if he has a flush, or maybe if he doesn't. Check-raising and folding to the 3-bet sucks. Don't put yourself in that spot.

Bet the turn. If he raises again, you probably should fold. This line loses less when behind and wins more when ahead than yours against this type of player.
