    Villain has been calling too much, but rarely forces the action themselves. Their calling range pre flop as BB and last player left to call my raise is absolutley massive, nearly ATC. My read is they almost never bet on a draw, like 9 jack or something, in this situation. They'd almost always check-call.

    Do you have any stats from pokertracker for this player? If not invest in it and pokercace HUD ASAP, you will double your win rate.

    Preflop, grand.

    Flop, grand.

    Turn, I would only call here TBH. There aren't a lot of draws bar JdTd, J9 (maybe with diamonds) and TdXd on this board like tou said he's passive with them. I don't think raising is going to reward you here (Unless you min-raise and hit a K, which everyone seems to do against me *sigh*).

    Keep the pot small and call a reasonable river bet and wonder how 58o manages to crack your big pairs so often.

    Get a hand convertor too, maybe this one: Lego Poker HH Convertor

    Raise the flop, as played raise the turn!
    He has Tx so much here and will call you down, bring him to value town.

    I would raise and get it in vs him, even with your read he can have lots of weaker made hands. I prefer to do it on the flop, though the call isn't too bad so long as you raise the turn.

    I like a raise on the flop here especially when he has such a wide range because theres a good few cards that can drop on the turn that will leave you unsure where you are vs his range and it just makes it harder to play and also harder to get paid of if he dosent have any peice of the scare card on the turn where he might have paid you off with Tx on the flop. Dont worry about pushing him off a hand these types of players will call raises with Tx and 8x and 3x and draws here alot so theres no point in trying to slowplay against these types, if they miss the flop your only likely to win a small pot anyway so show aggression here because they wont.

    Once the turn comes your in that situation where you dont know if hes on an 8 but hes range is so wide id still rr the turn all in because hell fold the river if he misses hes draw for whatever little he has left or bet 3/4 on the turn if he checks and hope to get the rest in by the river because he should pay you off with Tx here and if he has 8x unlucky.
