I'm playing a 3-handed home game. Button folds, SB calls, and I check in the BB with T /images/graemlins/heart.gif 6 /images/graemlins/heart.gif. SB is a pretty good player (his SB limp notwithstanding) who tends to be more passive than aggressive (though he's capable of aggression).

Flop comes 6 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif. SB bets, I raise, SB 3-bets, and I call. Turn is 5 /images/graemlins/spade.gif. SB bets, I call. River is 9 /images/graemlins/spade.gif. SB bets, and I fold.

I think I misplayed this hand somewhere, but I'm not sure where. I think folding the turn must be wrong, so that leans me toward thinking I should call the river (I'm probably beat but have sufficient pot odds for the call). How would you play this hand?

You're move should have been folding on the turn. That is a pretty scary board for just top pair. However, since you made the mistake of calling on the turn, you should almost automatically call the river.

Most of the time I'm going to cut my losses here on the turn just because all I have is a pair of sixes ten kicker but with position putting in a cap there against the good player may make him check the turn and allow you to check it if you pick your spots right.
