Default Re: What is your play here?

I'd fold. I've been burned by enough idiots calling this raise down (as well as a river bet on a blank) with the lower straight at this level. Also, having two blockers doesn't mean he can't have the nuts, and some players actually would put in a weird bet with it here.

Throw in the fact that smellgood is left to act behind you (and I'm sure your notes also describe him as an unpredictable idiot, equally capable of holding QQJK here as 2222), and I don't think it's worth a 1:1 risk to win the pot, which is about what you'd be looking at with a raise big enough to induce a fold.
