UTG folds, MP raises to $0.60, CO folds, Hero calls $0.60, SB calls $0.50, BB folds

Flop: ($2) A 2 6 (3 players)
SB checks, MP checks, Hero bets $1.40, SB calls $1.40, MP folds

Turn: ($4.80) J (2 players)

Spoiler

$4.80 pot ($0.24 rake)
Final Board: A 2 6 J
SB mucked and won $4.56 ($2.56 net)
Hero mucked A Q and lost (-$2 net)

The OR is reg, and the SB is calling station, but semi-agro postflop. Could not decided what his donk bet could be on trurn and decided to fold. Seemed like AJ?( only

I think that if a calling station wakes up and starts betting we should proceed with caution and fold this.

I have seen fishes do this with a lot of weak Aces and/or FDs

This is always awkward but I feel like if you are only calling the river when you hit an Ace or a Queen then I feel a fold is correct. Getting 2.5:1 on the turn you don't have odds to call if you feel he has you beat and when it is with an Ax combo then your ace is dead. Against a calling station waking up with some aggression then I feel you are correct here more often than not.

If you call and he bets river you likely fold, i'd check stats and see if he is betting river much but i doubt you have a large enough sample so a fold is likely good.

calling station = passive = just fold
this is our default play.
so it would be a matter of seeing where ur "semi agro post flop" read comes from and if it makes enough of an argument to adapt our play here.
