These are two similar examples of passive players playing aggro on a droadway (semi) dry + 1 low card board. I had similar before but have not had the question arisen.

You know that poker is about patterns: you see some algorythm and it's same result repeatedly and it engrains into your mind as the law.
My question is it the law that passives mostly play this way when holding a set and it is allowable to fold Ax and 2 pair hands.
