Default Blind defense gone bad

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Villain isn't a tight blind stealer but isn't loose either. One note that I had on him was "raised 2 pair on the river".
Anyone like this laydown? I'm really starting to think that river raises a vast majority of the time are bad news.

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, Hero calls, BB calls.

Flop: (6 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB folds, Button calls.

Turn: (5 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button calls.

River: (7 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 10 BB

Ok I hate to be a pest and bump my own thread again, but I guess one response isn't too much to ask. I could just post another hand, but I'd really like some feedback on this one (I posted a 2nd one yesterday but I figure I'll be happy if someone responds to just one). Besides I'll be misplaying/not-sure-of plenty of hands that I've yet to play today, so why not get feedback on one from yesterday.

Sorry in advance for the inconvenience.

from the SB either FOLD or 3BET. I hate the call out of the SB. You're playing an offsuit, dominated hand OOP for basically 2 bets. Save your $ and get out, or, if feeling fiesty (usually w/ a stronger hand) 3bet his punkass.

On the river it's a nice fold. He has an Ace and was allowing you to bet for him.

Easy fold. You don't even have top pair. I would pay this off with top pair and an excellent kicker. It looks like he let you do the betting for him on an AQ/AK or better type hand.

This is a tricky situation. You could very well have the best hand, or be way behind. I think you played it fine, especially since there's another player in and you need to protect your hand. The only problem is that this is a pretty thin value bet--a c/c on the river to me is clearly superior. AFter the turn call you can't like your hand too good, but need to get to showdown HU against a steal: C/C.

Edit: I missed the most important point that Irishpint made. FOLD PF. If button is stealing a ton, this to me is a 3 bet hand. But you must raise or fold.
