Fi in this case is 75/19 and 1.13 post. I have a little over 100 hands since we sat but havn't played him before. He calls down a lot and seems to be on tilt. He is currently about 30BB back.

He has been calling with a lot of hands and there is a chance that he has hit something on this flop. I choose not to 3-bet. At the turn I check to se if I fill or hit as I don't think I will get him to fold a raise or bet as I (and other) have tried this before. I also figured that if I get the flush I probably have an extra bet as he doesn't put me on a draw.
Well, the question. Did I play this to passivly. Sometimes I both 3-bet and bet out on turn with these kind of hands but right now, with the read I figured I was better of passive. What are your standard play? How would you have done with this read?

I think your line is fine (and probably best) against this opponent.

I Cap the flop. You have up to 15 out's and your hand could easily be best right now if he's on a flush draw and decided to continue bet the turn, which it looks like he did.

cheers

Gotta 3-bet the flop. You're crushing his hand range.

How would you deal with a cap from fi on the flop. Would you bet out the turn and what to do with a raise from fi here?

I dont like this play at all. I would three-bet the flop and lead the turn once it gets heads up.

does it mean that you fold the river UI if there's further action from him?

3bet the flop. Your equity with overs and a nut flush is ahead a vast majority of the time here, even if he has a pair (as long as he doesn't have an A or Q).
