I hate this spot but I let go also. He could be stealing, but I don't like the idea of facing a river bet. Sometimes I fire 2/3 pot on the turn, but that's kinda player specific.

This is a blind war; as such, I think you made a few mistakes here.

1. Raise larger preflop. I'd make it $2 to go.
2. The flop bet is absolutely standard.
3. I lead this turn 100% of the time. There are draws out there, you're OOP, and you have a hand. If villain has a K, I'm just going to lose some money (which is why being OOP sucks). If you bet, you get paid by /images/graemlins/heart.gif /images/graemlins/heart.gif, by /images/graemlins/club.gif /images/graemlins/club.gif, and by A8/A4. You're behind a king and not much else -- don't put too much credence in his 6/5 nittiness, since blind wars operate under a different set of assumptions. Here, TT is the nuts until proven otherwise. If villain shows down some powerhouse, make a note of it, and then raise every single freakin' time it is folded to you in the SB -- villain is playing tightly and will let them go the overwhelming majority of the time, giving you free money.
