Ugh, from your notes I have to think that he 3bet you with a premium (AA, KK, QQ, AK) all of which you lose to now. Man, this sucks. Any stats to go with those reads?

I think I would probably c/c to try to get a cheap showdown, you could also try block betting the turn and c/c the river. Being OOP is going to make pot control impossible.

I'd like to say I can get away from it if he turns up the heat but in the moment I probably would felt this.

Yuck, this is one of those turns where you throw up a little in your mouth.

I'd try to show this down as cheap as possible. I'd check it. It really feels like KK or AK. I think 66 would be rerasiing the flop.

EDIT: missed his flop bet. 90 into 800? What the deuce? Now I'm confused as that feels more like TT, JJ or KK. His preflop action and call of your reraise on the flop makes me feel like its KK even more.

[mewsiclovr]

FWIW I think everything that I might have been ahead of on the flop caught up with me on the turn.

Couple of thoughts here:

From reading your notes that guy is a completely weak player. Why on earth do you make that pre-flop call? What would a weak player play to a raise like that? My guess is nothing you are ahead against.

Check the turn and see what he bets. If he is that weak a players as you seem to indicate in your notes check call him down and save chips. It sounds weak but realistically what hand of his are you ahead against after that turn?

[ugignadl]

You make the decision now. What has he got, and are you ahead of it. If you are ahead, bet, and he will call you down as cheap as he can. (Or fold.) If you are behind, check-fold.

I need to know more about villain, but I'm c-f if he is really as weak-tight as you say.

really can't think of a whole lot you can beat here. his reraise says big pair or AK (weak players love them some AK) none of which you can beat. do you REALLY think he'd re-raise PF with AJ or that he'd keep calling down with 99-JJ? its a tough fold but one you have to make.
