Default JTs -- I fall back on an old full-ring line

My read on BB is sketchy, but my first impression of him is that he's decent. His stats are 32/24/4.8 after 74 hands, but he's also at something like 37 BB/100 over those 74 hands, and I don't think he's as aggressive as the numbers suggest.

The weakest starting hand he's shown down is KTs.

Anyway, after I just completed preflop, I found myself in an awkward spot and fell back on an old Small Stakes Forum line. I suspect I picked the wrong spot and maybe the wrong opponent for it, though.

I mostly play 5/10 full, and when I dabble in 3/6 6-max, I try to remind myself that people don't value bet as aggressively there and also aren't as aggro in blind-steal situations. I think I overcompensate for this sometimes, though, when I'm trying to interpret their raises.

Anyway, here's the hand:

Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 7.50 BB

I'm getting a little over 4:1 on a calldown and could improve. Also, it's possible Villain won't bet the river (although, if he doesn't, I'll probably wish he had).

How bad is the turn fold?
