BB is a calling station. The other guy just sat down.

I fold this most of the time, or call/check/call. I get the feeling that being headsup he tried to make a play on you, but the pot is small enough where I think it's OK to just let it go. If you don't want to let it go, check/call it down.

aren't you BB?

Id fold, the pot is small, you could be out kicked, or drawing dead...

I would have 3-bet the flop against an unknown. As it played out, I'm definitely showing down, because I think Villain has any pair or worse 1 time in 3 here.

I think this is where a lot of people lose money in SSHE. Do not call down in small pots with weak holdings. Especially if you have a read as the guy as a passive calling station. Don't give me wrong if you have a read as a guy as agressive, especially if the pot is bigger, this might be a call down. But I think here you are toast.

In a tiny pot like this w/out reads at this limit (where you have mostly calling stations) I would even advocate folding the flop when it comes raised back to you. Thoughts?

Guys, we have top pair on this flop. The calling station read is a little concerning, but even passive villains can raise second pair or a worse jack when they're HU against a blind.
