Re: Losing control of the hand
FWIW, I think I agreed with your other post, but I'd have to go back and check.
Yes, there are times when it's okay to let the villain take the lead, but I don't think this is one of them. If you could say with some certainty that you are WA/WB, I could understand this line, but you have no earthly idea where you stand. You could be miles ahead, miles behind, or neck and neck. By going passive, you are simply putting chips into the pot with a marginal hand against an opponent with an incredibly wide range. Maybe it is a problem with my mindset, but I don't want to sit around calling bets and hoping that: a) I'm ahead; and b) I stay ahead.
Your point about controlling pot size is a good one, but in this situation I think I'd rather control the pot.
