KQo steal

First, my name is Doug, and I'm new here. I was thinking about the "passive" amending of this question, and I am wondering if I have discovered a "fancy play syndrome" leak in my play. I assume by passive, we also assume this player will fold to an ace (we know he has 8-9, thus he won't two pair--in practice we won't know this). In that case, we have 10 outs, not just 6. Thus, for about a price of a 5.5-1 call, I am getting about 4.5 to 1 to get my "winning" card--6 outs with the best hand, and 4 more aces where I think he will fold.

In this line, I am calling the flop, and raising the turn bet when I improve or an ace hits--mind you, if I read him as truly "passive," it is likely he checks the ace unless he 2 pairs. In your opinion(s), in real practice, do I get him to fold enough on the ace to make this worth it, or do I leak here?

Passive doesn't mean he's going to just lay something down. And, yes, I think that would be fps.

What I was thinking in the amendment was that it would be better to raise the flop and take a "free" turn card.

And when he 3-bets?
