Opponent was tight player that folded lots of hands on the flop and turn. Maybe played 200 hands with him, his turn raise came as a bit of a surprise and tbh I was pretty eager to push the fold button when K hit on the flop.

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.05/$0.1 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (7 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BU with J:d, J:c.
4 folds, Hero raises, SB calls, BB folds.

Flop: (5 SB) K:d, 2:h, 7:d (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, SB calls.

Turn: (3.5 BB) 7:c (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, SB raises, Hero folds, SB gets uncalled bet back.

Final Pot: 4.5 BB.

A TAG who coldcalls from the smallblind? But no matter that preflop mistake but if you have the read that he was used to fold a lot and didn't attack many spots in the previous hands you should rely on your read and fold the turn checkraise. Normally he would checkraise a flushdraw but check/call checkraise with a flushdraw is an uncommon play by a nitty/straightforward TAG.

So i don't mind folding to his checkraise and especially if you have a good decision with bet/fold as he'll certainly never checkraises many worse hands you should bet because he could still pay off with various worse hands like small pocketpairs 44 55 66 33 etc and maybe some Ax type of hand. You openraised from the button. The Board doesn't basically hit your range that well that he could suspect you bluffing 3 times.

Being more straightdraws possible if would be more inclined to call down but i guess it's too often trips or Kx.

Don't think he was a TAG. More like a rock who all of a sudden found raise button. Not sure if that changes much.

That specific information changes a lot as when he's rather a rock than a regular TAG it's way more likely that he must have trips or Kx. Fold is fine. :)
