What if the villain bet $4? $8? I mean jesus he bet $12 -- just raise!

Why? I have absolutely NO idea what hand Villain has. Raising only bloats a pot in which I'm totally lost and confused. Calling here keeps the pot smaller and charges me less when I'm beat. It will also (usually) slow down a weaker hand and let me know who's in charge by the turn. Raising will most likely blow off worse hands, and like I said earlier, there aren't any dangerous draws. If KJo is betting here, he's already a 3:1 underdog. Is this not alright?

I think playing the flop slow, on a remotely drawless and safe board, against an opponent whose hand I know nothing about is a decent line. Then I use my position and reevaluate the hand on the turn.
