TDL 2-7: passive idiocy or genius slowplay?

[randomstumbl]

This hand is just confusing to me. Villian is a player who I haven’t played with a lot. The little I’ve seen has shown him to be a fairly normal player. I’d just think this was a bad play, but his play was fairly standard other than this hand. So, what’s wrong with his line; what’s wrong with mine?

Hopefully, this hand is more interesting than just some random “bad beat”. I think villian’s line might actually be pretty good against an aggressive player.
