Villain seems like a not good player, limps quite a bit but nothing else really.
700 effective
Hero opens to $10, BB calls
FLOP 23Tss ($21) i have 7s
x, bet $8, villain xr to $38
-big xr, but are we folding here already? seems too early.
TURN Tx ($97)
Villain bets $100, hero ?
Using the logic of less Tx now that 2 are on the board, i feel like i have to call here. Still tons of spade and straight draws avail. absent a read of any sort, do u fold here?

The c/r on a T-high board by a limpy, bad player sends my 77 into the muck.

Just fold the flop - calling the raise and guessing on the turn isn't profitable.

I hate shorthanded tables.
I'm fine with the preflop open.
I'm fine with the small cbet.
And I just fold to the big check/raise. Our read doesn't seem solid, but overall against 99% of the LLSNL population (especially ones who look like they are just trying to passively get into a pot for cheap preflop and bink) one pear hands (let alone second pear at that) just don't stack up well here. Even if he is on a draw he often has massive equity. I'd need lots of examples of this opponent going bat **** with air before even thinking of continiuing.
Ditto for the turn, even though I understand why our radar is up since this is a weird card to continue to go large on (as most TPs don't check/raise flop and most boats don't pot turn).

You said he seems bad. He can't be bad and have tons of straight and flush draws when he barrels the turn. Probably not check raising the flop with very many, if any.
I probably c-bet flop for 1/2 pot, not 1/3, but otherwise, it seems like a pretty trivial fold on the turn.

I think c-bet is fine, but feels a pretty trivial fold to check raise against an unknown that is likely just your typical loose passive low stakes player.
As played, the turn is an insta fold.
Also this is a 100% ignore the results hand. Sure he will occasionally have a draw or completely nonsense, but against a rando loose passive, you're never going to be able to pick these off profitably.

I fold flop to the raise, trivial spot.

Ok i can get aboard with the turn fold, what do we continue with on the turn? Over pairs donÂ’t feel no diff than 77 ( i know 77 is low im just saying) so trips and fds?
