Hello,
Villain seemed fishy loose passive in the few hands I'd seen before this hand. I called preflop because of good odds and position, on the flop I decided to play passively because of the number of opponents + I had to discount 2 outs. After his check on the turn I thought he might be scared of the Q but since I was passive on the flop I checked behind.
After his bet on the river, I wanted to raise but was not sure how big the raise should be. Because of his turn check I put him on a pair of 10s or on a bluff with a missed flush draw. I thought the missed draw will fold regardless of the size and a 10 might not call a big raise so I raised only slightly ower 2x his bet. Was this OK in this spot or should I do the standard '3x his bet' raise to possibly get more value?
Thanks and best wishes.
