Default All three options looked good to me

$2/4 (5 handed)

Preflop: Hero is Button with T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

MP calls, Hero raises, BB calls, MP calls.

Flop: (7 SB) 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)

BB checks, MP bets, Hero raises, BB calls, MP calls.

Turn: (6.50 BB) 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)

BB checks, MP bets, Hero??

I could fold, the pot's not very big...I could raise and fold to a 3-bet, but if I fold the best hand it's a catastrophe...so I should call down for the same price.

or just fold?

He could be using the turn as a scare card. I don't really see the point in raising the turn. When I'm faced with a decision like this, it usually depends on what kind of image I have at the table so far. If I've been doing lots of raising lately, I'll usually call down. Opponents get really annoyed when you raise 3-4 hands in a row. They always think you're full of sh!t. If that's the case, I'd call down since a bluff 'stop and go' is highly possible. Otherwise I think I'd fold.

I would raise the turn and fold to a three bet. I've saw too many opponents make this move on me with a flush draw, second pair or worse to believe he has the 8. I would get my money in on the turn as I want to charge these hands to draw out on me as your tens are vunerable to overcards as well.

I like raising and folding to a 3-bet. This board is a really safe board to fold to a 3-bet since anyone without an 8 will be really scared of the 8.

I agree-
Especially since there is another player in the hand. Heads up it is good to let a bluffing player keep dumping money into the pot- but three way you have to charge the draws.
