Default TT played scared? (adsman sweats Pete)

Ads didn't like the way i gave this pot up. What do you think? my comments later.

Reads: (after 2 or 4 orbits, so no stats)
SB is 2 orbits in and playing a tight game. Nothing to note, but his name has "fish" in which i usually deduce as meaning "knows what fish is" and thus "isn't a fish". Thats as far as names go.

BB is a true donk, has c/r with top pair + OESD but has a propensity to call down with pure garbage. 4 orbits of notes marks BB out as a "buddy" in the greatest sense of the word.

Ads told me this was a hand worth posting. Kill him.

PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (4 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: (6 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, SB calls, BB calls.

Turn: (4.50 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks.

River: (4.50 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, BB calls, Hero folds.

Bet the turn? A check basically signals to everyone "I give up, bet me out" so who thinks a turn bet against these to is a goot move?

I would bet the turn. That card should scare them as much as it does you. If you get called, take the free showdown.

I think bet the turn. A lot of times you still have the best hand, and you even get value out of lower PPs, 7s, and occasionally 2s. The turn bet should be the last money in the pot UI though.

bet the turn for a free showdown - don't put another chip in the pot unless you river a T.

yeah the check on the turn signaled my wimpy continuation work. i should have bet turn/checked river UI.

I folded, BB showed K8 for the "huh?" hi card, SB showed J8o for the flopped pair over my TT so whilst i saved 1BB i was a total wimp. Next time i continuation/scare bet the damn turn.

Bet the turn,
If SB raises i'll let it slide and hope to see the SD with SB vs BB :P.

If BB raises.. well your read is hard to understand so if you think he'll bluff it(And wont hold a jack) call down but i'd fold.

Hmm i guess that means i donk and fold.

beware beware beware the word police they come to your thread in the middle of the night and ensure correct terminology usage.

EDIT: correct use of "dork"
