Hero ???

The flop was scary enough, but the turn killed me. What's my action here? Check/fold? Bet out? If so, how much?

Eliminating JJ-AA, since he didn't raise preflop, what can I beat? The only hands he just calls with on the flop are TT, 99, 88, 77, 66, Ax of spades, all of which beat me.

This is less of a post about playing against a chaser, and perhaps more about betting to get information (as well as keeping up your level of aggression) while not committing yourself.

Villain had ~1900 on the turn, but there was also ~4000 in the pot on the turn. If I bet 1/4 pot (half of his stack) and he pushes, I have to call, yes?

If he had a bigger stack, what would be the play?

You played the hand fine preflop and flop. However, on the turn, there is 3900 chips in the middle and 2900 chips in your hand. Basically you push or check/fold. I think you have to check/fold this.
