The villain was passive fish. I just coulnd find the fold button here, i was hopping for lower two pairs or maybe AK. My question is, is that easy fold against a passive villain (he never raise preflop, always calls any draws and any pair and so on and playing it paassive).

I think vs such passive fish we have to fold vs turn raise. That´s the way how to exploit passive players.

I agree with the exploitative fold. A7-A8 might raise the flop, with A9 we are splitting. So we are vs set+ and I like the fold. Plus villain is passive and he will push only with strong hands.

It is not an exploitative fold. It is a fold against the average Joe. Villain just invested $1+ to win $0.5 if he is bluffing. We should fold plenty here.

I have to admit that without read that villain is passive and if my only information would be that he has not a full stack I wouldn´t be sure what to do with top 2P. But still x/r turn is really strong move on these stakes.

Even vs a fullstack I would think of folding too.

My point was - if he hasn´t a full stack, there is a good chance he´s a recreational player. And they tend often to do some crazy moves like turning into bluff their made hands because they believe that they valuebeting. Or do some random bluff.
