Reviewing this hand i'm not sure if i've been too passive or if I should have folded earlier. Any opinions on this play?

Not too passive. Fold the turn. I don't think your overcards are that clean, and your gutshot to the wheel is not enough to call with.

Pre-flop and flop look good. Fold the turn. The board is too coordinated at that point.

The hell are you betting the flop for? Fold the turn.

A fold here just seems too weak-tight for my taste. He might have AK/AKs, hell maybe AQs. My straight outs are probably good, and my AK outs are probably at least half the time too. I'm mostly wondering if I should have raised or C/R somewhere in there.

On the turn: vs AA you have 4 outs to a split, vs KK you have 7 outs, vs QQ-TT you have 10 outs. You win vs AQs and split with AK. It comes down to what you think he would cap with. I wouldn't fold the turn against most opponents.

I felt checking this flop would be admitting I dont have a big pair(since I wasnt going to C/R). Wasnt too sure on that bet =/

I would check call the flop and check fold the turn.

Hate the flop bet.

I think I would wonder what he can have that I can beat on the turn. I think you can call down for info/value as you did. I would expect to see AA-TT most of the time. I think if you have a read that it is a good player doing the raising, you can safely fold the turn. IMHO.
