1/2 NLH, full ring, MP player no read, Villain in past hand when he ch/raised someone on flop, he had 2 pairs. Unfortunately, that's the extent of my read on Villain; he seems like a solid player. Hero trying to play aggressively pf when in position, steal rate there probably 60%? All of us have similar stacks (~$250).

Hand starts when folded to MP player who made it $7, Villain in SB called and Hero in BB bumped up to $25 holding TT. They both call.

Flop ($75) J62
Villain checks and Hero bets $35, MP player folds and Villain raises to $85. Hero?

easy fold; NH as played. Your weak bet would leave me a bit concerned that I am being pushed off, or facing a FD, but some of that range is like AJhh and other overs with FD where we arent even ahead. I would imagine our overall equity is quite poor. Got to fold

Preflop is fine if villain has low fold to 3bet in your opinion. But flop needs to be bet/fold a minimal of 40, but ideally $45

I think you should fold. You have been playing agg so the V counted on your c-bet, and a big J is certainly in their range. You also have very little info on them.

Only question would be how have you sized your c-bets previously? If your standard has been 2/3 pot, this <1/2 pot may signal weakness and ultimately be a tell.

In that session, all my cbets have been ~1/2 pot, w/ a hand or a bluff.
