PokerStars 8500+1500 - NLHE Tournament (STT, 9-man, Regular) - 75/150 Blinds - 2 players

Hero (SB): t2455, 16 BBs (206) VP:45 PFR:38 AF:5.6 3B:21 AS:58 FS:62 CB:57 FC:0 WS:32 W$:73
BB: t6545, 44 BBs (7) VP:62 PFR:0 AF:2.0 3B:0 AS:0 FS:100 CB:0 FC:0 WS:50 W$:33

Preflop: (t225) Hero is SB with 7 :heart: 6 :heart:
Hero raises to t300, BB calls t150

Flop: (t600) 4 :heart: 6 :club: T :club: (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets t270, BB calls t270

Turn: (t1140) 7 :club: (2 players)
BB bets t300, Hero ???

So i am HU with a typical passive guy. Don't get confused from the stats, it's from HU only :)
Preflop and Flop i feel i played it OK, although limping preflop is also OK vs passives but HU and a small sample i don't know yet about this opponent.
He called me 2 streets, then on Turn he donked on me.
I put him largely on a Flush but don't know what to do. Pot is big but i feel i'm dead most of the times a passive leads. I cannot just call and if i shove i only get calls from better hands, Flushes or some fishy but better 2-pair sometimes and if he had just a T i expect him to bet it right away on Flop.

Against a passive player like him it’s most likely better to limp this kind of hands. He will most likely never fold on a raise anyway or he has junk. As played I would call the turn for sure. We need to win the hand in less than 20% with his small bet and we have still 6 outs to hit a full house. Sometimes we have still the best hand as well.
