Maniac Proxy Betting

It rarely happens this way, but let's assume your hole cards are an Ace and a King, both hearts. The flop delivers a Queen of hearts, Jack of hearts, and a 10 of hearts. In other words, you're in pretty good shape for the rest of the hand. The problem is also that you are a passive player and everyone at the table knows it. If you start betting for what your cards are worth, everyone will know you have some pretty powerful cards and back down. Passive players usually only get aggressive when they have the nuts.
