a 40-80 hollywood park hand

If he's passive and straightforward, it's unlikely he's capping preflop with A-K. And it's very unlikely he's capping with T-T. If he's passive and straightfoward, it's unlikely he's raising the flop with A-K or T-T.

By the turn he's had four opportunities to raise or bet and has done so all four times. If he's passive and straightforward, jacks have 0% chance of being good.

so you think i should have just check-folded the flop? one of the great things about playing against loose-passives is that they pretty much always let you know when you're beat. by raising the flop, the guy pretty much tells me he has an overpair (he'd just call if he had a set there), whereas if if he bet when checked to him, there is a small chance he is betting ak, and it would obviously suck to fold since the pot is pretty big (and i would have the best hand, duh). anyways, what do u think about my call of his raise there? with the 4 sbs from the other player in there and my backdoor straight potential and set potential, i felt i had odds to see the next card.
