K /images/graemlins/diamond.gif6 /images/graemlins/heart.gif4 /images/graemlins/heart.gif

bet, raise, call.

turn 9 /images/graemlins/spade.gif

check call

river 4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif check call

with no reads i'd fold the flop. i think you can only call the flop if

(1) you're committing yourself to showdown (which is hard without a read)
(2) this is one of those loose calls you make once in awhile to avoid getting run over (seems ok getting 7-1 with weak backdoor flush and straight draws)

if not the flop i'd definitely fold the turn, as you're only getting 3-1 to call down, and even if you are ahead, any two cards are still drawing very live against you

is the turn time to let this one go? you are ahead of a flush draw, and a weaker ace. w/ out a read i think its time to let it go, and wait until i have a read on this guy to make a move. am i weak??...maybe, but this seems like a less than optimal time to throw more money into the pot.

Against an unknown I'd fold the turn.
