Party 5/10 6 max, two sitting out.
I'm in the BB with TT. UTG folds, Button raises, SB folds, I three bet.
678 flop, 2 hearts. bet, call.
Turn is A of diamonds. Bet raise....do I have to call?
(neither T is a heart)

I don't think you have to call here but it's close.
If he has Ax here he probably figures he is good against the hearts and thus raises, if he missed the board but saw the Ace as a scare card he may be bluffing (or semi-bluff)...but I don't know how many times this guy bluffs a scare card. Could also be on a semi-bluff with a str8 draw/flush draw...
But if he was on a flush draw shouldn't he be raising the flop as well?
Has he seen you lay down many hands to turn raises?
Basically we are looking for a 9x or ten on the river in order to bet (we do lead here correct even with three hearts if we improve?), and if not call down.
Tough hand. The turn is a nice spot to bluff there, but I think he probably hit that ace as I would imagine he'd raise the flop with a big draw.

depends where you are, but 5/10 is sometimes the same as 2/4 or 3/6

Eh. He callls with a lot of hands, raises with few. I end uphaving to figure out what to do on the river then for an extra bet. It's rare I get value from it that I don't get from callig down if I think it's a bluff.

ahh..well would that play be correct maybe against a tricky player?

I don't see how you can fold, absent of any strong read on a player to suggest hes significantly less apt to semi-bluff than the typical player at those limits.

this read alone lends me to think that folding would be best here. his raising range is small enough to make us think that we don't have the best hand enough here to call it down

That depends on what he meant. If he raises few relative to the amount he calls, that could mean two things.
It could mean that he calls a large variety of crap hands and raises anything of moderate value or better, or it could mean he calls a lot of hands with moderate value and raises anything of high value.
