villain is 52/5/4 over 20 hands, so not much of a read here.

Turn should be an easy fold right? One line answers here are fine

I drop... his stop n' go is pretty scary here IMO. If it were a straight raise on the turn, then I'd say we can lean to a call (edit: I don't know about even calling then now that I look at it again)...

He knows you like your hand, and he's not trying to move you off of it with this bet... this smells of pure please call me raise here.

Even if we do call, I'm not sure what the hell we do in a $22 pot with 90% of the cards that could fall off on the river. we can't even comfortably get them in with an Ace/8 here given the action IMO...

fold and look for a better spot

Probably a fold here. Like Noob said, alot of ugly cards can come on the river that leave us in a bad spot.

raise preflop for value. hand plays differently then.

As played, I fold the turn. But I'd check/call on every street, probably. He will throw his money at me and I take it. I don't want to put moves on him with a marginal hand when I can keep the pot size reasonable and take his money with a call down.
