Default Re: BB vs SB bigstack: facing flop mini-bet

I fold as well here. I don't think there's a whole lot of point getting involved. Even though this is a low draw flop, if you call then he's still got the option on future streets of just folding when you're ahead or calling/raising when he's ahead.. making you commit more chips to the pot on his terms. When you have 11BB left, and good FE on the guys to act after you.. it's not the time to be going to war with him, I think.

This is the very type of hand why, in response to Dr Jeckyll's post where he pushed from the SB with 79o, I recommend calling, and betting any flop. The stacks are not deep enough for the BB facing even a mini-bet to get too frisky.

Absolutely, but in that hand, the BB had 8bb or something left, rather than the 11bb you have here, so it's a closer decision for me. I'm not really sure I'd want to piss about with 97o but I can see the reasoning behind it.
