Such a player is unlikely to flat the flop and check-raise the turn with hands worse than top pair top kicker. The pot is 72$ before our response and we need 22$ to call. This is a situation where our implied odds of making our flush are worth a call. Although we may not get paid when 4 to a flush on the appears on the river board we must remember again, our opponent is loose-passive... a CALLING station. If we miss the flush I'd really lean towards a fold here. There just aren't many weak hands this passive opponent would play so aggressively.
I'm curious to know if anyone disagrees and would recommend a different play.
