Did I go completely weak on the turn? SB was tight/passive. I don't have the exact stats in front of me, but over 100+ hands he was around 17/4/.5

I would raise the turn to find out where you are - Q, 10 out of the SB?

You did say he was tight &amp; passive, so him taking the lead on the turn should raise an eyebrow. But without pushing it, you are left to call it down and question yourself.

If he 3 bets the turn, I'd call and then call the river (does anyone think my suggestion is too weak tight?).

Raise the turn, call a 3-bet, call a river bet.

Why the raise the turn advocacy here? You have TPTK and have shown strength throughout. SB wakes up on the turn and is loose passive. He's got 2 pair or better. I'd feel better about a river raise, but on the turn you are drawing.

Could villain be on a stop and go semi-bluff? If so, I'd like him to pay an extra bet to see the river.

But I also appreciate your point, since Villain was described as passive and he has now taken the betting lead.

If you're read is good then so is your hand IMO. If he was betting the turn with 2-pair (not including Kx) then he would probably be scared by the river and wouldn't bet. If you think your read is suspect, raise the river.

My table read for this session pretty much matched the PT stats I had on the guy. Tight/Passive.

MP2 showed Q8o
SB showed JTc

On the turn, SB made 2nd pair with a OESD. So it was a semi-bluff.

I took the more conservative approach, electing to call down against a passive player who woke up. Results aside though, I think a turn raise was a better option.

This accurately describes the situation, IMO. I don't believe he would have 3-bet the turn, and I would have had a better idea of where I stood. On the flipside though, I've seen some of these passive guys call down with monsters. But I spose that's poker.

I'm definately missing some post-flop aggression, and this is one of those scenarios where I need to apply it.
