Default Fun w/middle pair

I hate middle pair, I never know how to play it. here's an example

Villain is a fish (55/3/1) and hasn't gotten out of line yet

Party Poker 3.00/6.00 Hold'em <font color="#0000FF">(6 handed)</font> link

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 folds</font>, MP calls, CO calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero checks.

Flop: (3.33 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, MP checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP folds, <font color="#CC3333">CO 3-bets</font>, Hero calls.

Turn: (4.67 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets</font>, Hero calls.

River: (6.67 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 7.67 BB.

I fold to the turnbet if the opponent isn't very lag, but when i call the turn i call the river aswell, especelly when the other nine turned up

Easy fold turn I think. Opponent is not so agressive, and there are few draws out there. Pot isn't big enough to draw to improve, and I don't think you can showdown UI.

Nice river. I wouldn't give crap players credit for anything just bc they fired the last barrel. Definitely call.

Think about the range of hands that this player 3 bets with and you will have your answer. You made a play at the pot and he is telling you that you are beat. it is time to listen on the turn. Even if he had an OESD on the flop with a goofy hand like 79 or 57 he passed you up on the turn and you don't have odds to draw. This hand may be a calldown against a more aggro player at a higher limit but here it's a fold.
