Any thoughts on this hand? I've got a feeling i'm losing value here in the long run by not reraising, but i had a very strong feeling my kicker was beat. Obviously i was bang on with this hand, but is this too weak? Was my play -EV here? My thinking was as follows -

1. it was a limped pot, suited aces are quite likely (that's how i play them anyways, i wouldn't usually call a raise with them)

2. Both the villain and i had big stacks at the table ($100Nl). i was at 145ish, she was $310, i didn't fancy losing 1&half buy-ins when i was just about to call it a day, would spoil my night pussy reason i know.

3. Villain was fairly tight/passive, PT aggro factor only 0.66! though it was clear she wasn't a donk, more of an abc grinder. i felt she'd only do this with a flush, which leaves only a-xs and suited connectors as likely.

4. if i just flat called it might induce the other villain (who i knew i had beat) to call. if i pushed, he'd have surely folded.

PS - the very next hand before i'd reloaded i caught the nut flush v 7high flush and doubled back up

If this were a raised pot I would say it was too passive but here I like calling (esspecially the river) vs raising. However, I probably would have raised the turn. I don't want to see another .

Sometimes (it'd be hard) I could fold this river... given preflop and esspecially given your read on villian. If someone has been very very passive then all of a sudden they're betting and raising, it isn't a bluff.

On the river the pot is ~$56 and villian bets $30... you're getting almost 3:1 odds. I can see this river bet being done with a lower flush, like 8 9, but I don't think he 1/2 pots anything else on a flush board of 2 3 4 5 7. Prolly not even a set/6. I don't think it is a bad call, but I definitely think calling v raising is better on the river.
