I seriously considered letting go if any decent sized bets comes around, but this passive dude started betting small. I'd fold, but what would people think if I did????

Wow this is a really weird spot.

First off, 3bet a bit bigger pre. You have an open and what is most likely a loose call. We'd rather narrow the field to a HU pot as well as getting more money into the middle since we expect to be ahead.

As played though, with the tiny flop bet, I'd consider making a small raise. If he comes over the top it's a snap-fold, but we're not investing too much by making say a 2.2 - 2.4x raise and we take the initiative in the hand, probably allowing a cheaper showdown overall.

As played, calling the flop, and depending on how passive he is I'd be ok folding to the double barrel (obv never folding the flop). People might say "but you're getting like a million to 1 odds on a call!!" But frankly, if he ONLY bets a king like this then no point investing more money.

Also a little piece of advice - don't show the results of a hand when you post it for hand analysis. It's easy for other people posting to become biased because they can already see how the hand ended and what the villain had.

Ah oops yeah didn't convert this one before posting x_x was getting late at night and I'm still recovering from a tilt spree.
