HU with a EP limper, 3rd pair on the flop.

Wasn't sure how to handle this. I figured there's a good chance he missed the flop. I followup on the turn, then call figuring I've got enough outs to justify the pot odds. Spew, standard, better line?

Even though we have perhaps 6, unlikely as many as 9, I'm folding this turn on this supertiny pot where only 4 are really clean.

The flop unfortunately falls right into the limping zone.

On the turn, UTG+2 could be making a play with KJ or AJ or something. But I think the raise indicates you're most likely behind, and since your outs are tainted, I think you should probably just fold to the raise.

I like check-folding this turn. You took your stab and missed. Now you're risking 1 BB to win 2 BB. You beat weaker 4's, flush draws, and ace high. A long list of hands are beating you.

Yep, that's my post-mortem feeling on it. I took a cheap stab and didn't get it. No point in taking an expensive stab on the turn.

I'm in agreement of the check/fold on the turn. Too many hands beat you here.
