Given that you are in position, I probably would have just called the pre-flop raise here. This is for a couple of reasons: 1) Our villian is much less likely to put us on our hand, which logically moves on to 2) thus giving me more bluffing opportunities on the flop.

As far as it was played: All we can guess about the villians hand is that it is relatively well coordinated. Given that he is liable to bluff-raise any 1/4 to 1/2 pot bet and that he would likely check any made hand into me, I think I would probably take a free card off on the flop, assuming I got no help there. While some may see this as weak, it just may get our villian thinking about other hands that we might have.

For me, I think the real decision will be the turn.
