 Depends on the opponent somewhat but I probably think a sec and let it go after a check/call, check/raise.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

Fold, you are repping an overpair and villian can easily put you AI on the river (with a 3/4 pot bet).

Your decision would be a lot harder with AA/KK, but the board fits a lot of drawing hands from 9T/56/78 and sets.

yea i agreed i folded. since you say i am representing an over pair do you suggest that I check the river there? Maybe I should have checked the turn after he calls my river bet? What do you think?
Flopping quads and boats like its my job

Hmmm.

If you can let TPGK go this easily short-handed you're asking to get pushed around all day long.

A significant problem is your turn bet. It's weak enough that you may have induced a small PP or even TPWK to try to push you off. I don't see any reason not to be 3/4 pot. For the sake of $3 you've made this really tough.

His raise is nothing, I'd call it and see if he'll make a decent river bet.
If I was feeling more adventurous I'd re-raise to see if he's really going to push or let me check-behind on the river.
Blah blah Op Blah blah

Faith in Jesus Christ is +EV. That is all.

 I check behind turn and either call a river bet or make a value bet if he checks.
