A common situation that I don't know how to handle. Just sat down, no notes on button but he is 60/8 over 60 hands in a previous session.

6 players

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is BB with 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, CO folds, Button calls, SB calls, Hero checks.

Flop: 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($5, 5 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $1</font>, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, Button calls, SB folds.

Turn: 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($9, 4 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $2</font>, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises to $4</font>, Hero calls.

I would check/fold or bet/fold the turn.

Ok, afterwards I didn't think it was good enough to call down for 2 BB.

What about the flop? I thought about check/folding it...

I bet/fold the turn. You can win some nice pots by value betting tpnk against players willing to call down w/ a six or seven or a pair of twos because they caught trips on the river once and won a big pot, but I give up to a raise until I see him making this move with hands like middle pair or worse and then I three bet and lose to AJ.

I think this is a pretty easy turn fold. In the rare event you are ahead theres till a ton of ways he can beat you. The pot really isnt very large either.
