I am a tightish side TAG. Haven't played a lot against the villain so don't really have any reads, seems like a solid TAG.

I don't like this hand at all but don't really know how to play it. Ideas are appreciated or is this the only way. i know this is a very standard hand but still seems so weak to me, but don't know what else to do OOP.

I think turn/river suck. As played it's prob a decent fold.

Okay, Illuminati and others, so turn sucks then... Well, how should you play it against an unknown???

Should I have check-called the turn and bet a blocker on river??
I have a feeling that I can't play this situation profitably if i lead this turn.. am i wrong? Check-raising turn seems really suicidal to me, and that's the only real power play i can think of (and it's almost turning the hand into a bluff).

Is it just a plain turn fold situation? Check-fold?
