BB is :fish: 36/2 with post flop aggression of just under 1. Blind defense numbers aren't available at the table.

Preflop: Hero is Button with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $2.
UTG calls, 2 folds, MP2 calls, 1 fold, CO (poster) checks, Hero raises, 1 fold, BB calls, UTG calls, MP2 calls, CO folds.

Flop: (9.50 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players)

Seen enough yet?

Hero calls.

Turn: (6.75 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB bets,

So now what? I called and get a blank. I think I call down a lot in this spot and could do better. Any comments?

I'd fold unimproved on the turn and not give it a second thought against a loose-passive type and a checkraise.

EDIT: to add unimproved on the turn (what i meant the first time)

As would I. Well, call the 1 more on the flop with your backdoor straight & flush draws while convincing yourself that he's just bluffing, but fold to a turn bet after your draws vanish.

I agree. Once again, PT stats save the day.

Thanks for the replies. Clearly, this is something for me to work on. It seems straightforward here but I have to incorporate it.

I'd like to post more hands. Maybe it's just me, but I have trouble remembering/finding those interesting hands at the end of a session. Any tips?

Oh yeah, the results. I took a different than usual line and managed to lose the same as usual while incorporating some FPS. I raised the turn and folded to BB's three bet.
