If this guy is as tight-passive as you make it out to be, fold. Fold now and don't look back. Bury the hand, then bury the shovel. But seriously, that's a huge over-shove on the turn (18x your bet!) That's either a pure bluff or he's got the nuts. His passiveness post-flop tells me it's the latter.

Seems like a poor play to me.

If he has you beat, he's getting ZERO value from the winning hand.

If he's bluffing, he's turned his hand into a bluff. Meaning that only better hands will call..

Both are considered donkey type mistakes that you simply can't make at any higher stakes and expect to be a consistent winner.
The older I get, the more I start wondering; Just what in the hell is going on here?

What a strange play...I think even a min-raise would be more effective than that over-shove. Fold it.

It's only a good play if you called like a donk
