PokerStars, Hold'em No Limit - $0.01/$0.02 - 6 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

UTG: $2.05 (103 bb)
MP: $2.67 (134 bb)
CO (Hero): $2.49 (125 bb)
BU: $4.96 (248 bb)
SB: $3.14 (157 bb)
BB: $2.00 (100 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is CO with 7 J
1 fold, MP raises to $0.06, Hero calls $0.06, BTN calls $0.06, 1 fold, BB calls $0.04

Flop: ($0.25) 8 A J (4 players)
BB checks, MP checks, Hero checks, BTN bets $0.24, 2 players fold, CO (Hero) folds

I did see this particular villain doing this type thing before, betting pot when checked to, so I am wondering if he is doing this with a polarized range. I think for MDF we need to defend 50% of hands here. If we are playing a hand like J7s how can we figure how wide our range is? is there a way I can figure out the perimeter of how wide my range would be if I am playing J7s? like does that mean I am playing Q7s and hands that are better obv? We should probably be defending better hands than this in the spot but how wide is our range and what would we call with?

Pre-flop seems like a easy fold.
J7s isn't a great hand to defend with and the playability post-flop isn't to good. Only if you hit a straight or flush draw you have a good shot to win. Especially if you get multi way.

Flop is a good fold with middle pair bad kicker. You beat only a bluff and decent chance you face a big bet on the turn as well.

PRE-FLOP: easy fold with 3 players left behind you

FLOP: check-fold - 2nd pair with weak kicker in a multi-way pot will get you in trouble. If it checked around, the only hands I'm continuing on the turn with are :Jx:, T♦:, 9♦:... with 4-players, any other hand is just too weak in my opinion.
