heh sry no strong reads, wasn't paying close enough attention.
actually im not sure the turn put two to a suit up. i'm still having trouble importing ub hand histories so i didn't recheck. I'll take your word for it though that the board was rainbow. Against a sane opponent, I think I should be folding the turn, I can't think of a single hand I'm beating after the turn 3-bet except maybe A7.

Yeah, it was a rainbow turn card:

Also, I was opening from the CO (effectively) which widens the range a bit. I think you're right that the only hand a reasonable opponent has which you're beating here is A7. But if you didn't know that I was reasonable, I think calling down is OK. A lot of people overplay overcards or smaller pocket pairs here.
But as I think about the hand more, you should probably be raising on the flop (and maybe even 3-betting preflop). If I do have unimproved overs on the flop you want me folding on the turn.
From my point of view, I didn't have much of a read on you either -- and I thought I was paying attention! (I guess the tight players can be the hardest to pick up reads on.) I do remember strongly considering the idea of smooth-calling the flop and raising the river -- I'm not sure if that would've been better or not...
