I fold since I'm getting such crappy odds.

Any reads? I fold here also.

BB is a an alright sLA-A - MP1 was only at the table for a few hands.

Ed Miller once told me if its a close decision between calling and folding, fold if the pot is small.

I try to keep my Ed Miller close to the computer when I'm playing, so maybe he informed my decision a bit.

Since it was the unknown that was raising, I think a fold is in order. If it had been the sLA-A doing the raising, I might have considered a re-raise, depending on his post flop aggression levels. I don't think I would ever just call here.

This pot is still small and without reads it's safe to fold. 4-1 to call or so? Not good enough. You also have to remember that you don't close the betting. If BB is LA-A he could easily 3bet and it could be capped to you. Get your marginal hand out of there.
