I flop top pair versus a tricky, aggressive opponent have to decide if I should bet for two or three streets of value. Would you have bet more aggressively than I did?

Love your videos Jonathan, please continue to make these educational resources available weekly. Regarding this hand, how would your play change against a passive-tricky opponent? Are you more inclined to check the river as well? Would you vary your line in any other way? Thanks for putting out so much great material!
I’m glad you enjoy WPH!
I am not exactly sure how a tricky passive player would go about putting me in a tough spot. If he will essentially never raise (meaning he may call with a few hands that beat me), I would be inclined to value bet the flop and turn for value. Any diamond river is still quite bad, so I would check behind.
