Home: help with a hand
 

Single table home tournament. 7 players left, top 3 pay.
1 player with about 4K chips, rest of table fairly even around 1500. Table is playing fairly tightly. Most pots are staying pretty small and are being taken down by modest bets.

Blinds 50/100
Folded to SB (1500 chips) read: fairly straightforward, Loose Passive.
SB completes 100.
Hero in BB with 1400 chips (Ah 6s)
BB checks.

Flop:
4c 6c 8s

SB bet 125.
BB raise to 385. SB calls.

Turn: Ad
SB checks.
BB bet 400. SB calls.

River: 5s
SB goes all in.
BB ??

Will post results later. How is the play on all streets? Does the pot size and nature of my hand warrant an allin on the turn? Do I fold to the bet on the flop? Your thoughts?

I think you played this well. I would call the river. I think you really want a call on the turn so I would make the biggest bet my opponent would call. I think your bet is fine as he can call it with a large range of hands.

Re: Home: help with a hand
 

Against a loose passive opponent I like preflop and flop. When he checks to me, I push all-in expecting him to call with worse hands, maybe a connector (87 type hand), maybe ace + straight draw (like A7/A5) type hands, maybe a club draw and a pair? I don't want any of these hands to see the river cheaply, and the pot is already 970 and you only have like 1000 left.

On the river, you've already invested 835 out of your 1400 stack. I think you just have to call and pray.

970 in the pot on the turn, straight and flush draws on board. You have approximately 900 chips left. I'm pushing that turn. Take the pot down or make him pay to hit his draw.

Is anyone scared about a straight-forward passive player moving all-in on the river?

Do they really do this without the 7?

Yeah. It seems like the smaller raise was to make sure to get value from worse hands, but loose passives would probably call your all in with a fairly wide range.

You now have 615 behind and you're calling into a pot of 2375. Now that you're in the situation you're in, call and curse when you see the 7.

Push the turn. The way it played out, I don't think you should call the river all-in against a loose passive. Key words: LOOSE PASSIVE.
