BB is new to the table. I have no hands with him. So, absolutely ZERO read.

Short-handed (or maybe the Party 15/30 game?) I'd call for information and because he makes a move here often enough. Full table 2/4, I'm inclinded to let this one go.

I'm somewhat inexperienced with SH and totally inexperienced with the Party 15. However, being short handed, or having any sort of read, would have a huge swing on how I play this hand. For example, I just got check-raised by a total LAA on the flop holding ATs, flop of JJx. I call his raise, hit a T on the turn and just call down. I beat his A2s, and feel perfectly happy with my play.

However this hand is a situation that always throws me off. A turn check-raise from an unknown irks me, particularly when I'm holding 2nd pair.

I didn't let it go, I called down. But afterwards, I felt real dirty about it, so I figured I'd see what people think.
