Played against a passive 27/2 player. I think that the turn could be played differently, perhaps a larger bet size then fold to an all-in?

PokerStars - $0.02 NL - Holdem - 9 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4: http://www.pokertracker.com

BTN: 145 BB
Hero (SB): 100 BB
BB: 39 BB
UTG: 89.5 BB
UTG+1: 193.5 BB
MP: 54.5 BB
MP+1: 113.5 BB
MP+2: 181.5 BB
CO: 103 BB

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has Qs Qh
UTG calls 1 BB, fold, fold, fold, MP+2 calls 1 BB, fold, fold, Hero raises to 5 BB, fold, UTG calls 4 BB, fold

Flop : (12 BB, 2 players) Jh 8s 7h
Hero bets 8 BB, UTG calls 8 BB

Turn : (28 BB, 2 players) 3s
Hero bets 15 BB, UTG raises to 43.5 BB, Hero calls 28.5 BB

River : (115 BB, 2 players) 6d
Hero checks, UTG bets 33 BB and is all-in, Hero calls 33 BB

I wouldn't mind to make it even 6bb pre-flop out of position against at least 1 passive fish.
As played turn is tricky, but I would earlier 3bet shove with so little behind than call. He will never fold the river and you are committed. Sizing isn't to bad, but a 20bb is most likely better against him for value. Now I would most likely fold or you have reads he can over play toppair.

Hum..how much hands do you have to classify him in 27/2?

Anyway, in that stakes, i prefer to fold turn, unless the villain is really a loose agressive fish.
Unfortunatelly, most of the times, he has a trip or at least two pairs.

As played, you can't fold that river.

It's a pretty strong line from villain, especially is he's a passive player. A lot of the times you'll be facing a set, two pair or in this case maybe a flopped straight. But then again, this is NL2, where fish can seriously overplay top pairs like this... I think a fold after his turn raise would be the best option, but I don't think shoving it all in would be that bad either.

Calling flop and raising turn is a very strong line. This is almost never a bluff from fishes and never a worse hand, just fold OTT.
