 Villain is tight/passive villain, plays 20/11/1.4 and is good. He has played very few hands this session...we have no history.

Here is the first hand we've played.

Cryptologic - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - £5/£10 Blinds - 5 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

SB: £2,030.00
BB: £1,000.00
UTG: £1,078.00
CO: £5,324.00
Hero (BTN): £985.00

Preflop: Hero is dealt 9 9 (5 Players)
2 folds, [color:red]Hero raises to £40.00[/color], SB folds, [color:red]BB raises to £170.00[/color], Hero calls £130.00

Flop: (£345) 9 4 A (2 Players)
BB checks, Hero checks

Turn: (£345) T (2 Players)
BB checks, [color:red]Hero bets £200.00[/color], [color:red]BB raises all-in to £830.00[/color], Hero calls all-in for £615.00
Uncalled bet of £15.00 returned to BB

River: (£1975) 5 (2 Players - 2 All-In)

Pot Size: £1,975.00 (£3 Rake)

BB had A A (Three of a kind, Aces, Ten high) and WON (+£987.00)
Hero had 9 9 (Three of a kind, Nines, Ace high) and LOST (-£985.00)

Onto the hand in question: I realize I might have the previous hand in the back of my mind, but I'm not sure he would do this with worse hands considering how tight/passive he is. Notice the big raise as well, like he did pf with AA in hand 1. What do u think?

Cryptologic - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - £5/£10 Blinds - 5 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

SB: £4,530.25
Hero (BB): £2,048.00
UTG: £2,027.00
CO: £1,895.00
BTN: £1,908.00

Preflop: Hero is dealt Q Q (5 Players)
UTG folds, [color:red]CO raises to £40.00[/color], 2 folds, [color:red]Hero raises to £140.00[/color], CO calls £100.00

Flop: (£285) 5 3 2 (2 Players)
[color:red]Hero bets £200.00[/color], [color:red]CO raises to £860.00[/color], Hero folds
Uncalled bet of £660.00 returned to CO

Pot Size: £685.00 (£3 Rake)

what other hands he do that line with.
any ace he c-bet. i think he HAS to c-bet that ace on flop like 99% of time with anything (maybe except nuts)

i think he has same line with: T9,TT,maybe JQs, well some 2pair or big draw but his line is obv nuts to me, esp that turn c/r.

i dont fold a set there anyway

one note tho is it good calling so much preflop with 99 against passive who is prolly not squeezeing u whole lot?

 Yes, it felt like AA a LOT but wtv I havnt played with him much and I timed down and had to call..

But my question was on the 2nd hand...
Nine to five is how to survive - I ain't trying to survive / I'm trying to live it to the limit and love it a lot //

ok, just from seeing hand 1, i would still instacall here just cause of pot odds and expect to be ahead a little more than enough to break even. however, had i been playing the whole sesh with him its not out of the question that i would muck this. i guess what im saying is i dont think u can possibly give enough info here for responses to give u a "correct" action. if ur gut says fold, fold.

Just played a hand almost identical against an unknown villain. His line looks so weak, I figured his range is large enough to justify a call, unfortunately he showed up with AA, like I knew in the back of my mind he would.
