Easing back in: when to let go?
 

took a while off as my summer plans didn't leave room for poker. I'm easing back in playing PP 2/4 one table at a time and I'm doing ok... here's a basic hand just to make sure I'm not forgetting my fundamentals (ouch!! just got burned on a two outer [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] ). No reads

In a small pot with no reads I'm gonna say probably a fold. He'd have to be very aggressive to try a check/raise bluff to a pf raiser when an A fell on the turn. I just could be wrong though.

With no reads this is a pretty clear fold.

Your effective pot odds, assuming you call the turn raise and another bet on the river:

(6.75 + 1) : 2 = 3.9 : 1

so your hand has to be good more than 1/(3.9 + 1) = 0.21 = 21% of the time to profit from calling down. Against the majority of 2-4 players I doubt you will win as often as that.

Unless I had reads and strong reasons to believe Villain was making a move, I would fold.
