My tournament strategy involves limping my entire range in the SB, especially in freerolls, as I get to play more hands against worse players with deeper effective stacks. I have a pretty balanced limp/call, limp/fold and limp/reraising strategy against almost every type of player in the BB and it works for me, so I'm not really asking for input on the preflop play as much as I am the post flop.

I think it's a pretty clear check call scenario on the flop for the most part, as this player is relatively passive and his defending range can certainly consist of some Kx and also some better Tx.

Once he checks back, I could check this turn as well, but considering I have some key blockers as well as a gutshot and potentially the best hand I don't really feel comfortable with check calling or check folding. Even though this bet is exploitable, I think in SB .vs. BB scenarios against a passive player it's profitable in the long run and I have stronger aces in my range compared to him as I believe even as a passive player he would 3bet AJ+ preflop.

Once he calls my turn bet, I do not think I'm getting a lot of his Kx to fold to a bet on the river and certainly none of his Ax. However, since he's passive, I think that I can get him to fold a lot of his Kx and maybe even some weak Ax (although not as likely) on the river with a c/r as I can easily represent AT or flopped sets or QJ, as I would sometimes check raise QJs or a hand like that on the flop but missed my c/r opportunity since he checked back. Anyways, I got the fold and I think a c/r is better than a c/c here almost all the time especially with a nut blocker in my hand. What do you guys think? Thanks!
