Okay, what's your plan if he re-raises? What do you bet on a turn blank? A turn over card?

Looks like a train wreck is getting ready to happen. I just don't know which train is going to run off the tracks........Did you consider calling to keep the pot small?????

if he reraises then i would probably run away with my tail between my legs.

if he calls and:

1.) blank turn - i push
2.) overcard - depends on his bet size or if i can check behind.. might even considering pushing if checked to

from what i gathered, this guy was not a good player.

i understand what youre saying about keeping the pot small, but i think in this situation a raise gives me a lot more control of the hand, especially since he's so passive postflop.

Sounds fine. The only that didn't click was if villain is passive why did you feel a need to take control? I can see trying to do that with a maniac or a good player, but if villain will value bet his way to the river that might not be a bad thing. It also allows you to raise if a scare care hits.

Not saying your line is bad, I think it is pretty much standard (so far), but would be curious to get your thoughts on calling down. Sure it looks weak, but if looking weak wins you the most money then I would prefer to look weak.

ah, you're right. if he's passive then i shouldn't have to worry about getting in the driver's seat.

guess i was afraid of his overcards sucking out on me. would you recommend calling down and acting on the river if i put him on such a hand that hadn't hit?

just seems like asking for disaster in an inflated pot.
