Personally I just fold the flop as you've got no idea where you're at, but have nothing invested so just let it go.If you do wanna hang around, I'd raise the flop to live .7 or something, just so you've some idea where you're at.That said, I still just get out the way.

If you're regularly folding top pair HU IP on the flop against a limped SB, that's a leak. I can understand folding bottom pair against certain opponents and textures in that scenario, but heck, middle pair is often worth at least a call.In this case, given a default opponent and this texture, it's usually best to go ahead and pop the flop to $.70. However, at higher levels, against specific opponents and deeper stacked, calling's sometimes better. As played on the flop, I don't generally care for popping turns with TPNK.

To be honest I will go ahead and admit that I hate letting people limp on my BB and did consider raising on him PF ;)Still, checking is definitely correct and I like the comments about raising the flop. The reason I popped the turn is because I thought I could probably get him off a made hand if I bet into a very scary card like the Th. After he called I decided I was done with the hand. Obviously I popped it one street late. Also, this guy had limped on my BB a few times, is it OK to sometimes raise it up with air once to teach him it's not ok to limp on my blind? or is there more value in allowing him to limp on my BB so I can play him in position?

You be raising at least 50%+ from the BB when the SB open completes, checking with Q4o though is fine. Popping the turn is kind of pointless imo as if he folds he's most likely folded a worse hand, generaly in these spots i put in a call on the flop and see how the turn plays out, probably calling again if he bets 1/3 pot like this.
