Default 4/180 W/TT, Not sure I\'m ahead enough to continue

Read on villian is he was kinda weak, I have stolen his blinds at least 3 times so far without a fight but he has only shown solid stuff. Still he has done nothing special by any means.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Hero (t5630)
SB (t4410)
BB (t6050)
UTG (t1565)
UTG+1 (t5750)
MP1 (t2840)
MP2 (t6258)
CO (t2970)

Preflop: Hero is Button with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to t600</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero calls t600, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>.

Flop: (t1375) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
UTG+1 checks, Hero checks.

Turn: (t1375) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets t600</font>, Hero ?

I really wanted to call/shove here but I was having a hard time putting enough hands together that I was ahead of. Maybe that smaller than half pot sized bet on the turn is weak enough to make a move I don't know.

It's very possible I am assigning to tight of a range here for villian who raises from UTG+1. Feel free to comment on any spot in the hand.

I would bet the flop here actually. If he calls then checkbehind on the turn and maybe call a bet depending on his bet size and board. If he checkraises you on the flop then you know youre behind and you fold. As played I would probably just call but im not really sure.

I usually bet these flops regardless if i have an A or air, or TT in this case. I was watching you on this hand, and I am still not sure about how to read this weak turn bet.

To me it looks like a scared JJ-KK, o [censored] why did the [censored] ace flop. The check behind on flop was bad, now he is pretty sure you dont have an A also.

A raise on turn may still win the pot for you, but you have to risk more then on flop. Calling on turn and folding to a river bet is the cheaper alternative probably, next time bet flop.

Does anyone else bet this flop? Or is pot control and getting worse hands to bet a worthy angle?

Your hand isnt exactly a monster, dont get fancy just take it down. If my read is right you may fold out a better hand which is obviously great, and if he has some random junk like KJ you wont get any action, unless he hits but you dont want that right?

Check the flop. Call the turn bet. Bet when he checks to you on the river. Fold to (an insane) river check/raise. Might have to call on the river if he leads again. Smaller pairs are in his range.
