Villain unkonwn, 3 hands into the session.

This is a pretty unspectacular hand but I still have some questions. I wonder if it´s a profitable line to play TPGK as passive as I did?
I have a strong hand OTF but am not interested in building a huge pot with my hand so I decided to just call. So I guess the question is - can i fold the turn?
I think the river has to be a fold - villain reps at least TPTK with his line, AK and TT are absolutely in his range. WDYT?

No Limit Hold'em $0.05/$0.10
PokerStars
5 players

Stacks:
UTG - Hero ($13.85)
CO - CO ($12.48)
BTN - BTN ($12.95)
SB - SB ($19.33)
BB - BB ($17.82)

Preflop: ($0.15, 5 players) Hero is UTG with Q♠ A♠
Hero raises to $0.22, 3 folds, BB raises to $1.00, Hero calls $0.78

Flop: T♥ A♦ 6♣ ($2.05, 2 players)
BB bets $0.75, Hero calls $0.75

Turn: 5♥ ($3.55, 2 players)
BB bets $2.60, Hero calls $2.60

River: 8♣ ($8.75, 2 players)
BB bets $13.47 (all-in), 1 fold, Uncalled bet of $13.47 returned to BB

Total Pot: $8.75

BB wins $8.36

turn you cannot fold.

river doesn't really matter, but at nl10 your decision should be based on reads: either player specific or pool-specific reads on what kind of hands villain has in this standard spot.

some extra points: TT is often flat-called preflop BBvHJ, AKo isn't.

if villain reps TPTK+, how does this affect your decision?
are you aware that 'rep' means represent, which means that villain is taking a line that villain thinks looks like TPTK+?
this is a bit complex, and you shouldn't worry about it at nl10, only much higher limits.

My general population read at the micros pretty much is „they always have it in these spots“. Don’t see a lot of bluffs in this spot - that’s the main reason I decided to fold. Raising at any point is out of the question, right?

Yes. Overfolding should be your default. The population doesn't make enough bluffs and is generally value heavy.

You played the hand fine, this is really standard. Sucks to lose chips but it's played fine.

Thanks for your answer! Yes it’s standard - just double checking!
