[45suited]

I just disagree with this completely. I probably 'raise to find out where I'm at' less than almost anybody on this forum. Sometimes calling is just fine, and I think that this is one of those spots.

Raising to find out where you're at can get pretty dicey when it involves crippling you in the process. We've got position on the villain, calling the flop seems fine to me. Let's see what develops on the turn. The turn, I would just call as well.

Keep in mind that the flop may well be scary to the villain as well. Let's not give him too much credit. No need to raise this flop, IMO. Then again, I don't have a problem making a difficult call now and then either. Alot of the chips that I make are made from playing hands from behind and letting people bluff into me.

With position, I like calling the flop here and seeing what develops.
