Default Two Pair Monotone Flop (100 6m)

No reads, new to the table.

Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $99.15
UTG+1: $109.51
CO: $121.50
Button: $34.35
Hero: $103.50
BB: $99.90

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, CO folds, Button calls, Hero calls, BB checks.

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($5, 5 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $4</font>, BB folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $8</font>, 2 folds, Hero calls.

I didn't 3-bet for a chance to fill up cheaply and the plan was check/call a blank turn. I hate min-raises here, they usually represent a lot of strength.

Turn: 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($21, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">UTG bets $19.95</font>, Hero calls.

OK card. I called looking to fill-up and planned to check/call a reasonable bet on a blank river. Looks like he is protecting his hand from a flush draw, straight/ set looks possible.

River: Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($60.9, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">UTG is all-in $70.2</font>, Hero folds.

Bad card. I'm sure this is a fold. I'm more interested in earlier streets.

Uncalled bets: $70.2 returned to UTG.

Results:
Final pot: $60.9

I think I probably fold the turn. I might lead for $10 though. Weak tight holla.

Fight,

I don't like check/calling the turn bet because it leaves you in a really tough spot on the river regardless of what falls. What if the river blanks and he pushes? What if it blanks and he bets 50? Unless he really underbets the river you're in a tough spot. I would be more inclined to lead the turn for 10 and fold to a raise or just fold to the PSB on the turn.

With no reads, I like it. I think no reads really hurts here.

I think leading the turn might be slightly better, but not much
