Loose passive player, played like 40% of the pots, sample size approx 35 hands.

I figure i could take away that pot raising the flop, betting turn. Would have call been a better decision here?

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.05/$0.1 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K:d, A:c.
2 folds, UTG2 raises, 3 folds, CO calls, BU folds, Hero 3-Bets, BB folds, UTG2 caps, CO calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (13 SB) 5:s, 8:d, 7:d (3 players)
Hero checks, UTG2 bets, CO folds, Hero raises, UTG2 3-Bets, Hero calls.

Turn: (9.5 BB) 4:d (2 players)
Hero bets, UTG2 raises, Hero calls.

River: (13.5 BB) 4:s (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG2 checks.

Final Pot: 13.5 BB.

Results follow:

Hero shows a pair of fours(Kd Ac).
UTG2 shows two pairs, queens and fours(Qc Qh).

UTG2 wins with two pairs, queens and fours(Qc Qh).

Hi!

When loose passive player caps! preflop UTG vs Sb what hand range do you put him on?

My default would be very very strong or maybe he is steaming and spewing but this is more of an exception.How strong his range is impossible to say but its close to premium

Then he cbets on the flop and you are left HU with him,do you think any part of the mentioned range will fold? obviosuly you will never make a pair to fold so you are only hoping to raise and protect against hands that dont really need protection.That is AK,AQ,AJ,KQ most of the time.All these hands have 3 outs max vs you and not all of them are that likely anyway since you have AK and that AJ,KQ are not in my default range for his preflop cap...

so...since you hand is quite likely behind and doesnt need protection there is very little reason to raise...by far best option is to call and basically see SD in most cases hoping to see AK,AQ or whatever spew he may have

Well...

flop call is must due to outs

Turncall is then again due to outs and equity since pot is quite big.You are only afraid of AA,KK,vs all other hands that you are behind you have 6 out and there are others you dont want to fold against like AK,AQ, and maybe even others.

River pot will then be huge and vs guy you dont have any special reads Im never folding this getting 1:10+.
