The Situation: $1/$2 6-Max NLHE. The SB is a loose-passive player, both pre-and post-flop. The button is a loose aggressive player who opens frequently from the button and nearly always continuation bets. You all have around $350 behind.
It's folded to the Button who open raises to $6. The SB calls, and you decide to call as well with 
.
The flop comes 
. The SB checks and you check, hoping to check-raise the field, but are disappointed when the Button checks behind.
The turn card is the 
. The SB checks again and you bet $15. The Button folds, but now the SB check-raises you to $45.

remember, its a loose PASSIVE SB. And a passive guy suddenly comes in with the most aggressive style of play (namely the checkraise).
He must have a good hand here. Possibly JT, or perhaps some holding you can beat like AK (thats why you cant fold).
I'd just call and probably call the river as well.

A dangerous flop and turn card.
A passive player is unlikely to bluff and usually only bets strong hands.
The SB may be ahead with a straight, a full house or trips with a higher kicker. Two pairs or trips with a lower kicker are also possible. The hero is losing to most of these hands and the SB could also improve after the river.
I would not expect a passive player to check raise with top pair.
If the hero calls the turn, he may draw to a worse full house and call a larger bet on the river.
