average 10/20 game, not too loose and not too tight. 4 or 5 way action is the norm. On this particular hand, I was in the cutoff, and it was folded around to me. My hand was two black fours. The players behind me were:
button--tight, solid player. I figured he might 3-bet me if he had a legitimate hand, but most likely he would fold to my raise.
small blind--unknown player, he's only been at the table for an orbit or two.
big blind-- loose, weak player. He's almost 100% certain to call my raise, but is not tricky at all. He plays straightforward and is pretty easy to read. He will check-fold the flop if he misses, and will bet out if he hits.
Considering all of the players, I chose to raise. As predicted, the button folded and the BB called. The unknown player in the small blind thought for a second and called.

Should I like this flop? It seemed harmless, but it also seemed like there was no way I could make any money after the flop if my hand was good. But I guess I was OK with it, because I just wanted them to fold anyway.
They checked, I bet, SB called, BB folded.

SB bets out, now what? Fold, call, raise and how close?
