BTN stats 30/11/4

Never seen him limp the button but he was playing like 20 tables and Ive played against him before and havent seen him do anything too crazy before. I can see how I should have potentially bet like 80 or something on the flop but anything else? do we bet/fold the turn? do we check/fold the turn?

Any stats on the villain?

I would usually raise any pocket pair when first to act so I'm not sure why he's limping if he has one. Really that's the only hand I can put him on to raise you on the flop. 22 or 66 and hit a set. 66 is definitely worth a raise from the button when unopened so I might be thinking he has 22 here.

This is why you really need stats. A steal percentage might be useful on top of the regular stats.

But I'm fairly new to cash games anyway - not quite got the best reading skills just yet!

Fully posted this without seeing the stats at the top, sorry.

30/11 is a little fishy. Why are you surprised at him limping? Could even be 76 he's holding. I suppose it's a tight decision. He could be even doing this with an overpair. I'm going to back out of this one and leave it to the regulars here!

Eeew. He's aggressive enough to play 99 or 88 this way, but this is probably a good fold on the turn.

I agree to fold the turn, but only if raised, its a b/f for sure imo, about 65-70c

I just 3bet the flop here most of the time. If you want to do the whole get fancy thing then the turn should definitely be a CRAI. Folding here for one stack versus a bad player at NL2 is silly and massive -EV.
