Too passive or good fold?

Don't fold! Raise that flop! You know where two of the aces are, making it less likely that the villain has one. If he 3-bets I'm calling down unless I spike a K.

Also, 10SB in a 5 handed flop is a big pot.

That was my initial reaction, "Raise!" but for some reason I second guessed myself and thought I was beat for sure. It was an odd passive moment for me which is why I posted it.

It wasn't passive. It was tight. Passive is when you call too much instead of betting/raising or folding.

i actually would like to play this hand passive. why raise it? keep people in and let the Q keep betting. nobody can make a better 2 pair and unless someone has KJ or catches a miracle runner-runner, we have a really strong hand.

i simply call/call/call.

at .5/1, someone is more likely to hold that Ace. Bet that flop and find out what happens

This is my line. A raise will only get you 3bet by better hands and will fold most worse ones. If he's betting a Q he's probably sitting on the fold button waiting for you to act.
