you're getting 4.75:2 to call down. an unknown isn't bluffing often enough.

fold here, take a note that he check called a rag flop and donked a turn king and keep watching him.

So against an unknown, we just immediately assume we're losing now? I see so much random bluffing with garbage at 1/2, and this seems to contradict the aggression advocated here and in SSH. I have trouble figuring out why you would raise middle pair on the flop sometimes, but fold to a nonsensical bet here.

pot size pot size pot size pot size pot size pot size pot size. you can afford to be wrong sometimes in big pots, because the times you're right, hey guess what? you win a big pot! this pot is pretty small compared to the times you should be raising the flop with middle pair, for instance.

so yeah, fold and watch him.

Okay. I guess I'm just jaded because of how many people I've seen at this level who love to pull moves like this with complete garbage. The other day I folded UI AKo on the river to a bet and a call only to find I folded the best hand! 1/2 is so much different than .50/1.
