I was taking every opportunity to raise my Button in this 6max game. SB had a tendency to donk and then fold to a raise, which is why I raised on the flop. Is the raise horrible? Should I just be calling? I think I'm right to check behind on the turn with my marginal hand and when BB fires just under half-pot I am well beaten here, right? I think it's a very easy fold on the river, but I'm wondering if I could have played the hand any differently… maybe just calling on the flop and going from there. What do you guys think?

I looked at this one for a while and cannot come up with anything great to do here. I guess in practice I would probably just muck it here. I cannot see how one of them does not have the A and even with the odds presented I do not think proceeding can be +ev. I want to hear from others on this hand. I know I am not crazy about the check raise, seems spewy. When the SB bets and the BB calls, I am fairly confident he has at least the A.

Even though it's only a min bet and a call I pitch the hand then and there.

You could very well be up against Ax and Tx with a better kicker. Nothing improves your hand since another T gives you underfull and could lead to an expensive call against overfull.
