Mm.. What seems to be the problem?
You cbet the flop. The board is dry. The only thing that makes sense he calls with is an ace. Shut down on the turn. Fold to any bet. I dont understand [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

i think this is almost always 77-88. easy call

If he's a 22 playing 6 max, classify him as tight nit. Use PT and put him on Ax... After your Cbet gets called, you should CF to aggro...

I think this is almost always an ace, sometimes a 3, and almost never 77-88. 77-88 would check behind with two overcards on board. Villain called flop and then called turn on a dry board, so it's probably not a draw.

I like the c-bet, but I would check/fold turn and river. It's my standard line on A high flops when I encounter resistance.

Shut down on the turn, you're almost always beat here.

Atleast make it 0.4$ preflop and pot it on the flop, the bet you made just seems weak. Check / fold to resistance from there...
