Default Re: empire 55r JJ facing raise

This is a semi WA/WB situation. I'm calling down, unless another player gets involved, then I'd consider running away like a little girl.

It's kind of WA/WB, but the difference is that there is no guarantee that if you are way ahead you will stay ahead. The problem with the flat call is that it gives everyone else in the hand lovely odds if they are drawing - someone else WILL get involved. And becasue the flop checked around we can't discount the chance that a couple of spades are out there. This means over half the deck could be bad news - how do you play a spade, diamond, A or Q? Hope that it checks around again?

That said, I don't have any good ideas, so *slips into skirt* for a quarter of my stack, I think I'm letting this one go.
