Opponent is 22/15/2.61(edited to fix typo) and just sat down, but I have about 2000 hands vs him in previous sessions. Has about a 68% attempt to steal the blinds.
Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (7 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx
Preflop: Hero is BB with J , T.
5 folds, SB raises, Hero calls.
Flop: (4 SB) 2 , T , A (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.
Turn: (3 BB) 5 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, SB raises, Hero...
Final Pot: 6 BB
Now, should I have raised this flop or is it best to let an overly aggressive stealer keep firing away at it. Given the way I played this flop is there any way I can fold this turn given my opponents obvious show of a lot of strength here?

He just happened to be stealing this time with Ax. I fold because he checkraised. If he would have led out, I raised, and he threebet, I'd call down.
This guys a goldmine - but you don't have to extract it all right away.
And yeah, I raise this flop. Youre too vulnerable to any turn card to try and slow play it here.

The way it played out, you have to fold to the checkraise on the turn. Even loose turn checkraisers have top pair or better enough times to let it go here. If the SB is a maniac or tricky, I like a flop raise, checkthrough the turn, call the river. If he 3 bets you on the flop, you can call, fold UI knowing you were beaten. This line (I think I remember it from King Yao's book) works most often to get you to showdown cheaply, loses the least from a good hand and wins the most from a bluffer.

This guy attempts a steal 68% of the time, I'm seriously considering a 3-bet preflop here. Probably a little light for that action, but not by much. More detailed information on this guy turns the decision for me. Does he always cap this situation if you play back at him? If so, I'm more inclined to 3-bet because he isn't getting extra value for his caps. Does he turn timid when a blind plays back? A lot of players will fold the flop unimproved when played back at in this situation. A raise can also help in the future if it makes this guy think twice about stealing so light.
