Villian is a station preflop(58/3 50 hands). I have already cbet him like 5 time and he folded to them all, so he might just be tired of getting pushed around. I have no reads on the other opponent. Anyways, questions are:
1. Should I just fold preflop?
2. Should I cbet this flop against 2 opponents?
3. What should I do on the turn?

Preflop is cool. Cbetting here is okay, and probably optimal to playing it passively. Turn is fine as long as you're sure you can get an extra bet out of him. You could have bet 1/2 pot like he did to price your draw, but w/e it's cool. nh.

I thought about checkraising the turn since he might have just called my cbet because he was tired of folding to them, and alot of players bet when checked to. Would this have been a bad play?

preflop and flop are fine although I'd make it a buck on the flop (psychological). whether you fire a second barrel on the turn is opp dependent (does he float a lot, is he a calling station, does he fold here a lot, etc.) and I wouldn't c/r. your line screams draw/mid-pair <Q.

Hrmm.. I'm so conflicted. Pro No limit suggests to always bet 2/3rds the pot when you don't know how much to bet.

But by using that amount as a blocking bet, you end up creating a large pot.

But I really don't like the 1 dollar bet, because it screams "please re-raise me."
The older I get, the more I start wondering; Just what in the hell is going on here?

Bet closer to pot when you don't want a call, less when you do.

no 1 into 3.15 screams re-raise me.

I could have sworn Warpes post suggested betting 1 dollar into the pot for "psychology reasons"
