How do you play this: Villain is 35/7 and been kinda passive post flop but still shows PFA of 2.5 over 50 hands. Doesn't seem too aggressive despite the numbers but I am multi-tabling and may have missed some hands.

Hold'em NL ($0.25/$0.50)
Seat 5 is the button.
Seat 1: OleGumby ($101.95 in chips)
Seat 2: _relko_ ($54.86 in chips)
Seat 3: HERO ($53.80 in chips)
Seat 4: Beatbox72 ($91.20 in chips)
Seat 5: indsdress ($30.45 in chips)
OleGumby: posts small blind $0.25
_relko_: posts big blind $0.50
----- HOLE CARDS -----
dealt to HERO 9 9
HERO: calls $0.50
Beatbox72: folds
indsdress: raises to $3
OleGumby: calls $2.75
_relko_: folds
HERO: calls $2.50
----- FLOP ----- 8 4 6
OleGumby: checks
HERO: bets $7.50
indsdress: folds
OleGumby: calls $7.50
----- TURN ----- 2
OleGumby: checks
HERO: bets $15
OleGumby: raises to $91.45 and is all-in
HERO: folds
Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

99 I usually raise pf. Then I'd prob 2/3 pot the flop, check behind turn...unless he's really loose/passive post flop.

I usually do raise 99 in a short-handed game, but I was mixing things up a bit and I felt one of the looser players behind me would raise anyway. That is out of the ordinary for me.
The real question is the turn play. Check behind or bet 3/4 pot?
Here are the issues:
-- There are a lot of cards that I don't want to see on the river.
-- The board was very dry so a draw is unlikely.

I would check back the turn because I assume typical players don't call two sizable bets in a row with many worse hands on that board, and if they call the flop it's probably a made hand drawing to 2-5 outs. It's also bad if they check raise the turn on a bluff. But if they are real loose/passive I would bet the turn. There's prob more to it, but that's all I can think of.

edit..I guess you could bet something to protect against a pair + gutshot hand, but I think 1/2 pot at most is good for that.

I like a turn check. You'll get more value on the river that way; a wider range will bet (bluff) and call (8x).
