Re: Call or Push
Do you check underneath your bed for monsters before you go to sleep?
If you had JJ or TT, would you lead out with a $5 bet into a preflop raiser? If you had any amount of true strength in your hand, would you? Some might, but mostly a strong bed like that is a vulnerable hand or a drawing hand that's almost like a semi-bluff -- they want the fold, but if they get a call, they might not be in too bad of shape.
You have no legimate reason to think this person has you beat. None. Any reason you think of is fictional. Tons of hands that do not have you beat will make this move, as well as some that do. But the vast majority of strong hands do not have the cojones to bet $5 into a preflop raiser. I would expect to see KJ turned over the vast majority of time, with JQ a close second. Next would be QQ and KK.
All my opinion, of course.
