Passive player caps the turn.

Villian in this hand is loose and very passive.

When I get raised on the turn I figure he probably have trips with a worse kicker.
But when he caps I think this passive player is very likely to have a boat.
Is my line reasonable?

I would have played it the same...i'd have threebet as well figuring him for J 10 or something. The cap makes me wonder if he had 44 or 55....surely it's not 10 4 or 10 5. Either way i'd checkcall the river if your read on him is right as "very passive." Despite the very passive thing, a lot of guys will get out of line if they get trips...not realizing that they have no kicker....but they won't usually cap. I can't see laying down trips here though for one more bet no matter how good my read is.

[whodaman]

it all depends on how passive he is.. some people go crazy because they have "three of a kind"...
normally i would bet and call a raise,
How does this player play sets. Does he wait until the turn to raise on a board like this?

I like your analysis and I play it the same way given your read. Nice hand.

I have no idea how he plays sets. If I knew that he always plays them fast I would not be worried on the turn/river /images/graemlins/smile.gif
