To call down or not with weak top pair hand?
Got a free play here in the blind. Villain is 50/2/0.6 so a big time calling station. I felt like I was protectiing my weak hand with a flop bet here, but the turn card slowed me up and I went into call down mode. Is this standard?
NB: I play limit as a distraction when I run bad in NL so my knowledge is less than most micro posters. I posted the 3/6 hand here because the question seems too basic for SS, is that reasonable? Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Hero checks. Flop: (2.33 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 calls.

*grunch*
preface: I did not look at the results. I recommend not posting them as they can skew the replies. I think you need to raise the turn. The hand plays differently if you do. If he 3-bets he is probably sitting on a monster and since the pot is so small you can dump or see one more bet to see what happens on the river. If he calls you might even get a free card on the river.

Bet the turn, fold to a raise given your read. Why wouldn't you bet the turn for value against a calling station? You have top pair.

I didn't mean raise as in to check/raise
