Easy fold.

Villain plays 67% of his hands. He doesn't have to have a queen to bet here. Still, the pot is tiny and I don't have much. I fold this like every time, but sometimes wonder...

You should raise this preflop if you're playing it, imo. You would probably get checked to and bet this (it may also be HU). Against a guy playing 67% of his hands, KT is certainly worth a raise.

A fold isn't terrible, but you may want to sprinkle in some raises if he'll bet a hand you're ahead of.

I certainly would open-raise this, but you're right--raising here isolates him, no? And then I assume if there are two limpers I'm back to limping.

Eh. The pot is small enough to just let it go. If you were to play on, I would advocate a raise, not a call, try to get BB outta there, then go from there. If 3bet, he very well may have a strong hand.

With one limper or less, I'd raise this hand from the BTN/CO and attempt to isolate the weak limper. Bet out the flop when it's checked to you.

The way you played it, I'd probably fold with the pot being so small.

Yeah KTo is a decent hand to isolate with, and when he limps in 67% of the time you are usually ahead here. With 2 players it's more questionable, if they are both loose raising is probably better.

Also if this player is particularly aggressive postflop I'm not folding here.

Pretty awful fold IMO.

raise preflop and it will probably change. i wouldn't be surprised if he had a small pocket pair he open limped with and is trying to win it right there.

So should I call or raise, and why?
