 I'd won 3 hands in a row a few hands before and villain had moaned in chat about me buying the pot. He was 55/6/0.11. Is he trying to bluff me off the pot or had he made the queens/ got a higher pair. He bought in for 10$ and he was down to 6$ at the start of this hand.

kfaess is an unknown quantity at this point
 first of all, why are you buying in for $10 at 5NL?

How many hands do you have on villain?

This guy in one of the generic loose passive players that are so common in the micros. He called your flop bet, he called your turn bet, so he has to at least has something at this point (unless he was planning to take the pot on the river the whole time which I think is very unlikely even given history).

Have you seen him make plays on the river before when he has been pushed off pots?

He has an AF of 0.11, so he's as passive as they come and a bet like that on the river is very very rarely a bluff. I don't see how there is any way we can call this, becuase even if we think he is bluffing some of the time, our odds are shit.

Against most people I'll call this pretty much always. I'm hoping busted draws do dumb stuff. This guy is a combination of passive as heck combined with sick of you pushing people around. Tough spot really. I probably fold because its an expensive mistake to make if we're beat, but I make a mental note.
Just playing to improve.

 Villain had been on this table for 103 hands by the time I left for those stats and this was near the end of that session. I bought in for 5$ so the stack I had at the start of the hand was 'profit' from the table. I'd bought into this table as there were some big stacks and the table was running at roughly 70% seeing the flop at the time. I played 127 hands at the table running 17/9/1

this is another hand he played the same way

If I'd seen this before I'd be more inclined to call the original hand.
