Villain was playing every hand, checks down air, bets if you check.

I feel I am losing value a lot in these spots; I am raising to much (and getting folds) when I should just be calling. What do you guys do here?

GG Poker - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by Holdem Manager 3

SB: $5.48 (274 bb)
BB: $2.00 (100 bb)
UTG: $1.89 (94.5 bb)
MP: $0.85 (42.5 bb)
Hero (CO): $2.00 (100 bb)
BTN: $2.62 (131 bb)

SB posts $0.01, BB posts $0.02

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.03) Hero has A♣: 7♣:
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.06, fold, SB calls $0.05, fold

Flop: ($0.14, 2 players) 4♣: J♠: 5♣:
SB checks, Hero bets $0.11, SB calls $0.11

Turn: ($0.36, 2 players) 6♣:
SB bets $0.18, Hero?

I would just call the turn with the nuts. No need for protection and not sure you get much action with a raise if villian bets a lot with weak hands. If villian has a flush he/she will stack of the river as well if you would raise or shove the river.

Hello,

IF he is a villain with an aggressive tendency when you check the bet, then if he would only call on the turn showing weakness to induce one more bet on the river.
YES, there are cards that can bother you, especially a club, but it is worth risking to get more value being a villain with an aggressive tendency.

I think that with just calling we lose opportunity to extract more money here. There are some action killers on river...

I prefer raise here, he can has lower flush, 87 for example and on river when comes fourth club we don't get value.

For this reason I just call in position. Why let opponent know that you have a contender? You would also flat here with a nut flush draw.
True you don't want the board to pair, but if it doesn't, you have an easy stack-off OTR — and such an opponent will surely lead the river.

Could be, but a lower flush is 1 of the few hands you get action from with a raise. Any top pair or weaker flush draw will fold for sure.
