Default I am a terrible NL player

... and I need some help on this hand.

The hand before this, i pushed $500 with a weak top pair and gutshot on a ragged flop. The other players made some derogatory comments about 'internet players' and released.

The BB is a aggressive player who seems to bet nearly every pot that gets checked to him in position. I haven't been here long enough for any other reads.

No Limit Holdem $400 Commerce
Blinds: $5/$10
7 players

Stack sizes:
Hero: $650
Button: $2100
SB: $750
BB: $1800

Pre-flop: (7 players) Hero is UTG+1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

UTG folds, Hero raises to $50, 2 folds, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($200, 4 players)

SB check, BB check, Hero bets $50, Button calls, SB folds, BB raises $150.

The reason for the terrible flop underbet was basically, I suck at poker. I was honestly thinking that everyone would probably fold to $100.

What would you do in my spot now? Easy all-in? Easy fold?

It looks like you induced a bluff. If you shove, what do you beat that he is calling with, given that he is aggressive and did not 3bet preflop?

I like calling and c/c'ing any non A/K turn and river. It gets tricky if an ace or a king comes, though.

Wow your flop bet sucks. But as you say, you know that

As played I call and call his all in / shove over his bet on the turn. If he checks the turn I shove myself

Bet $150 on the flop. As played, call and try to get it all in on the turn.
