Default What would you do?

A common scenario at this stage of an Sng? No real read on SB, seemed solid enough. I considered folding, raising & calling....

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) converter

SB (t1015)
Hero (t1900)
UTG (t1565)
MP (t1100)
CO (t1380)
Button (t1040)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG folds, MP folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t200) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t200</font>, Hero ????

If you have any respect for SB, fold. Complete? Any decent player who just completes at this stage is trapping. Since you say he "seemed solid enough," let this one go. He probably stole one from you, but sometimes you just have to let it happen. If you fold, he might be tempted to try it again when you have better than a half-ignorant straight draw to semi-bluff back at him. Plus, it might convince him he can complete and see a flop for free. The next time he tries it, push back hard and you'll probably pick up the extra chips. Just my guess.

Fold. The pot size bet from SB probably indicates he hit something. He will almost certainly not fold it. Let this one go.
