Default A spot I usually fold to avoid trouble but...

34/11/.5

$0.25/$0.5 No Limit Holdem
5 players
Converted at weaktight.com

Stacks:
UTG (<font color="#0000cc">$62.35</font>)
CO (<font color="#0000cc">$36.10</font>)
BTN (<font color="#0000cc">$60.00</font>)
SB (<font color="#0000cc">$23.75</font>)
Hero (<font color="#0000cc">$68.00</font>)

Pre-flop: ($0.75, 5 players) Hero is BB T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $2.5</font>, <font color="#777777">3 folds</font>, Hero calls $2

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($5.25, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">UTG bets $1.5</font>, <font color="#777777">Hero folds</font>

When I have a hand like this on a flop like this, I'm usually folding to avoid a tough spot OOP, but is there a better option?

PS: I also dislike his weako bet, but he just saw me raise one of those to chase someone out of a pot, so he MIGHT be thinking he can get me to play back at him.

Bet that small, I'd call it. I really don't think that c/f is a bad line to a reasonable sized bet though, I'd probably take the same line.

Anyone else see this as a blocking bet? I see UTG having K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Qx here very ofter or K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Xx. It looks to me like he wants to dictate the amount it will cost him to see the next card.
Not that I really like our hand and I would probably fold here too. Just a thought.
But I dont play $50NL either.

I think 3-betting TT against an UTG raiser with a PFR of 11 is spew.
