Default 20/40 JJ river fold

SB is tighter than the usual 20/40 player and a little less aggressive. Am I ahead to the river lead more than 1/8 of the time here? Talked this over with some 2+2'ers and opinions were split so thought I'd bring it here.

Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $20.
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, CO (poster) checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO folds.

Flop: (6 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: 7 BB

Bumping this back up. This might not seem interesting or may be a marginal situation where it doesn't matter much what I do. However, I've talked with several well respected posters and the reponses ranged from "I hate this fold" to "easy fold" with very little middle ground so I'm hesitant to write this one off as marginal.

tough spot and I would really hate to lay this down.

I would've opted to check the turn and call the river since it's heads up with one overcard and it seems SB called your raise preflop thinking your weak and on a steal.

But on the river when he bets out on the flush, I don't think the flush got there but rather a weak ace is making one of those I'm caling anyway so I'll bet it.

It's close though since you have a showdownable hand especially getting 7:1 for your call.

I think this is entirely player-dependent, so little useful advice can be given from your OP alone.
