    Yeah I was definitely c-betting this board but seen as I only have one over plus the fact bluffing can be dangerous down here as it gets called extremely light I was wary. I just hate the spot where it's called then I don't know where I am.

    Most players are loose passive so i would just give up on the turn and river unless improved...obviously if they bet weak on the river i will call a small bet with ace high.

    In general though when a loose passive player calls the flop their not giving up easily, i played a hand similar to this at 50nl, same kind of flop i continuation bet, turn comes a club so i bet again as i have equity with a flush draw, river is a brick but i go all in as i think the villain is weak.....they were weak but they still called with pocket 22,s.

    So at these stakes i would continuation bet alot to capatalize on dead money but give up on alot of turns, this line obviously sounds exploitable but its fine to play exploitably when the players are not good enough to exploit you, hope this makes some kind of sense :-)

    Ye, totally get ya. When you miss the flop 67% of time you have to c-bet or else let players catch up for free which can't be good. Strangely enough I had a similar hand to yours I had QQ bet 3 streets they called everytime and checked HH and they had 2's. A lot of players just can't fold a hand lol.
