No real reads yet, but he is pretty loose preflop.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $29.45
Hero: $25
CO: $20.90
Button: $41.10
SB: $20.15
BB: $23.50

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG+1 with Q A
UTG calls, Hero raises to $1.25, CO calls, 3 folds, UTG calls.

Flop: 4 T K ($4.1, 3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $3, CO folds, UTG calls.

Turn: A ($10.1, 2 players)
UTG bets $10.1, Hero folds.
Uncalled bets: $10.1 returned to UTG.


If I call here I'm basically committing the rest of my stack. Is this weak or smart?

elipsesjeff is an unknown quantity at this point
 I think this is weak. I usually see a weak king/ace bet this or the flush draw, although not normally for a potsize bet. You aren't commiting your stack here as a diamond or another king here followed by a push by your opponent could get me to fold.

 I see this with 2 pair a lot at micro stakes. I get nervous with TP anytime I get played back at, just because most everyone is so passive.

That being said, I would need a stronger read pre-flop than "kinda loose" to fold the turn here.
