KQs tp facing psb on turn against aggr player (6 max)

Villain is 55/18/3.5 after 108 hands, w@sd 50%, wtsd 20%, but I think at the time I didn't have quite that many hands on him. All I had to go on was that he was calling all my pfrs and was min raising my continuation bets often. I had folded to most of these min raises as I had missed the flop. He was also making large stabs (like 5$ into a 2$ pot) at uncontested pots and taking most of them down. The turn decision was a little tough for me as I hadn't seen his turn action nor had I seen him showing down any hands. But it was clear that he was contesting a lot of pots with probably crap hands and was very aggressive. But all I got to see was him taking the pots down on the flop etc. Does this sound like enough evidence to go for it on the turn, or is my fold ok? I'm new at 6 max so I know a hand like tp is a lot stronger than at full ring, but I've been getting into trouble with it. If you think my pre-flop play was bad as well let me know.

I like the fold. With a player that aggressive i think you could find a better place to set a trap.

If your read on this guy is accurate, then I'd check-raise the turn all-in. The reason I'd go all-in there is that you get calls from worse K's that check behind on the river.

He's betting here with a wide range of hands that you have crushed - K-J, K-10, J-J, 10-10, 9-9.

This is not a good fold. The original poster stated that the villain was making a habit out of minimum-raising flop continuation bets and taking shots at pots. Hero's move on the turn is to check-raise all-in. With 100xBB stacks against an aggressive six-max player who is constantly taking shots at pots and bullying the table, top pair/second kicker is the nuts. Sometimes you'll run into AK, K8, 33, etc; oh, well, life goes on. I think Hero has waaaay too much chance of having the best hand to fold here.

I completely love a CR-AI on the turn. You're ahead enough here to be profitable.
