When playing a loose and passive opponent with a high VPIP and low PFR, as in this hand, who doesn't fold to the continuation bet on the flop but folds frequently to the double barrel on the turn, what changes would you make to your preflop opening range and post-flop betting strategy? How would you take advantage of this opponent's weaknesses?

I might possibly 3Bet pre-flop. This is 888 though, and you're unlikely to get a fold
For the rest of the hand, I think you played it OK, but folding on either the flop or river is no crime

These players are rarely bluffing with that bet size. I frequently fall into this trap when I have a hand similar to yours. V has all the Ax, never folding Ax pre. But I wouldn't be surprised to see JJ or QQ in this spot either. 9x as well. The only adjustment I have made is never call their small bets with a hand similar to yours, they never bluffing, at least in the small pool I play in, its very very rare, with this opponent type. I have hours of video of me just paying these dudes off, if there is a better way to play them I would also love to know.

Looks like the UTG player is hero in the hand. That makes 3betting impossible :f_tongue:
My standard raise would be between 2,5 and 3x from UTG at a 4 handed table.

TT is offcourse a standard open. If villain would fold a lot on the turn a 2nd barrel couldn't hurt to much.
$1,50 would be bbig enough on a dry board like this. Than you need to slowdown on the river.

As played I would most likely fold the river. I don't think villain will change a busted flush draw in to a bluff.

Cheers,
