I'm always a little confused about how to play TT, JJ, QQ. What do you think of this one?
I don't like being a caller on the turn and river, should I be more decisive here?

3bet on the flop. Why do you become passive all of a sudden. His raise does not show that he's beating your overpair.

3 bet the flop, raise the turn, and if you still want to be wimpy, call the river.

I would raise the river. If at any point SB played heavy back at me, i'd give more credit, but they could be playing AJ, KJ, QJ, JT, hell, even sevens strong given your passivity.

You gotta take the lead with these hands.

Hey Chromepony,
I would 3bet the flop. You are ahead a great majority of the time. If SB caps, then I think you can call it down. If SB calls, lead the turn.

If SB is a decent player at all the check/raise looks to me like he is trying to protect his hand. It's probably not a flush draw and could be anything from middle pair to two pair. I'd probably 3-bet the flop but may wait until the turn to raise if a blank falls. The only way I like your play here is if you know SB is usually very passive.

Is probably what he meant to say?
Why would you wait to the river though?
