I'm in CO with and raise to $15, BTN calls and everyone folds.

BTN has about $175 to start the hand. We've been involved in a lot of pots with me winning most of them. He's made a couple moves including a hand where he showed a 3-bet bluff pre but mostly he's passive/stationy. I won a medium-size pot where I raised with Q9dd, he flatted with about $110 and I bet small 3 streets on a Q87 8 3 board, he called down with TT and muttered about how I "keep getting lucky and catching stuff."

Anyway, flop is
Pot is $33, I bet $25 he makes it $100 and has $60 left.

I think this is a pretty standard fold vs. a passive who doesn't seem to raise many flops but could he be getting tired of being pushed around? If he does this with KQ, AJ I have to have close to 40% equity but I'm not sure he'd play it this way.

At the time it seemed like a super easy fold but in retrospect I'm wondering if he really tries to blow me out of the water with a set or JT.

RockyMoose is an unknown quantity at this point
Preflop raise was good. Pot is ~$30 on the flop and he has ~$160 left, so SPR is ~5.3. TPTK is good enough to commit. I know SPR isn't gospel, but even with his flop raise I think we're ahead a lot here given your description. I do one of my "if you have it, you have it" speeches (prolly should keep my mouth shut) and ship it. KJ, QJ, AT, and draws are so in his range.

this is just a meh hand.

folding is fine given that a passive player is unlikely to raise worse than 2 pair there.

calling is fine given that this particular opp might be sick of you.

whatever you decide the bigger part of this hand is making sure that it doesn't fuck with your head. If you fold, then drop it and move on. If you call, it's because you think he has JQ-JA; KQ; 98; some air in his range and you are fine when he shows better.

why would we call and leave him with 1/6 of a potsized bet on the turn? he's not going to be bad enough to put the rest in with any bluffs on the turn. surely it's between folding or jamming the flop right?

I'm sure chard meant to shove/continue with the hand instead of "flat."
