how can playing stronger hands weaker be +EV on a passive table? Passive= no raising=no money in pots= no point in debating on whether there needs to be deceptive play in order to win pots.

If the table is going to let you run them over, then run them over. start raising ATs utg and your pp's. for me personally, i don't look at AT/J as a showdown hand if i'm raising them in EP on a passive table. I'm looking at stealing the blinds, and hoping people notice i'm opening a large range in EP, so they will start calling behind with a larger range (instead of 3 betting lighter). so you are getting more action. the only worry you should have is how your opponents play Ax on an A high flop. if you're called by a guy that doesn't reraise his high kickers, you should be less willing to fire at him OOP. If it's a guy that loves playing any ace, fire away since you know a T+ kicker will have him dominated most of the time.
