    Default Pair+Draw turn play?

    I am playing Tag poker, maybe a little tight and nitty due to bad run of cards. Villain is 38/3 and I have no reason to believe he is any good. What is my play on the turn? A call just seems awful weak.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    SB ($6.90)
    Hero ($9.50)
    UTG ($10.30)
    MP ($2.65)
    Button ($5.80)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with T, K.
    3 folds, SB completes, Hero raises to $0.5, SB calls $0.40.

    Flop: ($1) Q, J, T (2 players)
    SB bets $0.3, Hero raises to $1.2, SB calls $0.90.

    Turn: ($3.40) 8 (2 players)
    SB bets $0.5, Hero calls ???

    What does that small ass bet mean on the turn? It almost looks like he is pricing himself into a draw.

    You could raise that if you think he's capable of folding a Q. Otherwise just call with good odds.

    I have a weak hand that I'm going to make a weak bet with on every street and call your spew down with unless maybe you threaten my stack.

    There is usually some fold equity there, but you will see lots of absurd calls for all the money.

    Do you think my raise is a spew, or are you talking from his perspective? I don't think the flop raise is bad.

    The rest of the hand:
    I called turn, and missed river card. He bet out $0.60. Does anyone call here getting 7:1 on your river call with 3rd pair?

    call. knowing what hand he has that plays like that will pay dividends in the future.

    ive always hated the CALL line here coz they sense weakness and bet near pot IMO on river ALOT. im raising this on turn and check behind if missed coz we have some SD value
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    I don't think I beat any hand willing to bet PSB on the river here. I just don't see this as a river bluff much at 25NL.
