Put him all in. Charge him his tournament life to see that last card. It is highly unlikely he has a pocket pair higher than ours, and unless he was raising with AQ or KQ, and then being really passive against a possible straight and flush draw, we are good all day long right here. We can’t make another bet and have him call and not be committed to the river bet, so charge him all of it up front to see 1 more. end the betting right here.

The only thing that is peculiar is the check/call on the flop, after he took the aggression preflop, but really this isn’t too alarming because he could be doing this with his AK AJ or whatever, because he knows we probably wiffed that flop too. His turn check seems awfully weak. If he had a made hand to protect I don’t think he could check again. He seems afraid to commit chips. Put him all in here before the river, and if he lucks out, so be it you got it all in while you were ahead. But being so passive against our big stack leads me to believe he is weak, and our All in should get a fold 80% of the time I confidently believe. The other 10% they call and win. The other 10% they call and lose. We should be +EV here against possible ranges, let her ride baby.

I’d lead for $3.2k. Hero is facing a loose opponent, who seems to be playing this hand weakly. Let’s stay agg and bet-out to price-out draws and over-cards. The pot size is too attractive to turn passive. If they are trapping, we can exit with a nice stack still in tow. If they call and check a non-heart, under-card on the river I’d put them AI.

Checking allows the V to draw-out on you.

Have to bet this pretty much every time against a loose opponent. We are ahead of all but a small part of his range, so we need to play like we have the best hand. Bet needs to be at least 2/3 pot which for practical intents is AI, so I say shove it now.
