3 hand of the game so no reads so far.

whats the best line here?
On the flop I think calling is best because of his big bet sizing.
I think the only option after his check on the turn is shove.
any overcard is ugly for me, but I´m not sure because he can also have slowplayed overpairs in this situation.

Flip a coin. There are arguments for both betting and checking. You shouldn't bet 100% here, but you can bet some % of the time and nai is ok as well. Also it's not a big mistake either way checking or betting.

I would fold pre. As played xback turn. There is not much value in betting.

Bet the turn to get value as any Ax will call as will many Kx and Qx and small pocket pairs (and to take the lead away on the river and give you information for that decision should he just call).

If he is checking there in the relatively rare circumstances with a hand that has you beat than gg.

Pre is fine, on the turn there isn't much value to be made so I would like a check.

ok I understand the reason for checking behind on the turn, but I wanna protect my pair here against his overcards. Maybe my thoughts are completly wrong here.

In this spot I like to bet small, around 60 is good. Check most rivers.

Hey, that's what I said! LOL
Seems standard in my mind so I will give some thought to the other posts that disagree.

I'm betting.
When BB checks the turn his hand is pretty face up imo, I reckon this is over cards or air most of the time as with a big over pair or a nine he would likely continue to bet for value.
