TT on a K Q flop

the fold should be standard, but i wonder if any of you guys have some insight for me. mp2 has played pretty tight preflop, and has shown down reasonble hands. however, my thoughts were that he was overly aggressive postflop.

Final Pot: 7.70 BB

with a KQx flop, should i have just dropped it to his bet? this doesnt seem like a great calldown board.

Its a fold for me too, but I also suspect I'm getting pushed of the best hand at 5/10 a lot. But meh this is a fold. Definitely fold. Yeah.

I don't think we should carry on here though.

In a vacuum, I think folding to the flop bet is the best play. Small pot, bad flop, next hand.

As an alternative line, I like calling the flop and raising the turn, intending to check behind on the river. I'll trot this out sometimes if a) I feel like I've been getting pushed around recently, or b) I have a good image and my opponent has weak-tight tendencies (ie, may fold a queen or JJ.)
