I think I should have folded turn here.
Should I have folded pre?
Don't think I can call here but don't know what he is repping. I tend to get in spots like this often defending blinds (middle pair/top pair bad kicker).

fold pre would be my default, would be checking for a high fold to 3 bet tho because I think it's fine to 3! vs opponents who are going to fold often.
OTT I'm probably calling V could easily be double barreling any 8 10 or FD.

I would fold pre with that hand from that position.
