Making a play
I've just recently got back into online poker and have found myself having a bit of success, I'm actually enjoying it somewhat I suppose as well. Yes, high correlation between winning and enjoying ones self....
Anyway, there are soooo many bad players online (please qft). I find I can generally just sit back and wait for hands and play mostly straight up however once and awhile, when card dead and against the right opponent I find that you really need to make a play....
Here is a fun one....

You're right that I should have fired a 3rd bullet, I was pissed I didn't. However, this opponent, I can almost guarantee would have called. lol.
I've made bets like this before and been called with J high remember....
stp
especially considering the loose passives your referring to
