    Default Folding top pair on turn.

    No real reads yet, but he is pretty loose preflop.

    Full Tilt Poker
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
    6 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $29.45
    Hero: $25
    CO: $20.90
    Button: $41.10
    SB: $20.15
    BB: $23.50

    Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG+1 with Q A
    UTG calls, Hero raises to $1.25, CO calls, 3 folds, UTG calls.

    Flop: 4 T K ($4.1, 3 players)
    UTG checks, Hero bets $3, CO folds, UTG calls.

    Turn: A ($10.1, 2 players)
    UTG bets $10.1, Hero folds.
    Uncalled bets: $10.1 returned to UTG.


    If I call here I'm basically committing the rest of my stack. Is this weak or smart?

    I think this is weak. I usually see a weak king/ace bet this or the flush draw, although not normally for a potsize bet. You aren't commiting your stack here as a diamond or another king here followed by a push by your opponent could get me to fold.

    I see this with 2 pair a lot at micro stakes. I get nervous with TP anytime I get played back at, just because most everyone is so passive.

    That being said, I would need a stronger read pre-flop than "kinda loose" to fold the turn here.
