good fold I would say. With stats like that, hes either chasing or has a big hand from the start. if not, I think he would be doing the betting. kinda sucks to fold, but I think its the right move. guy like that definitely still has lots of 5x and ax hands at that point.

Bet the turn bigger, and raise preflop larger. The rest is fine I suppose.

How much larger would you raise preflop c9? With one limper 4.5x seems to me on the high side already?

If by high side, you mean pot-sized, then yes, 4.5x is pot-sized.

5-6x seems good here. Most of your profit against loose/passive 'tards is going to come from you raising their limps, and then c-betting and they fold. So if most of your profit comes from them calling a 4bb raise and giving up, increasing that raise size to 6x will increase your winnings by 50%.
