Reads: UTG+1 is loose/bpassive
MP1 is somewhat loose agro preflop, but pretty tame after the flop, with 26 hands he's 30.77/15.38//71

If you plan on folding without help on turn i dont think calling raise is even worth it.

I'm folding this flop when it came back to me check-raised and called.

No, i'm folding because I can only beat him if he's C/R me with a 9. Before I had redraws against a hand like 10-9. Now I don't. Thats why I folded the turn.

Flopped aces in low-limit Party Poker freak me out. So very many players play loose aces that whenever I see one, I just automatically assume that someone's got a pair of 'em.

Preflop is obviously fine.
Flop: I might be maniac/stupid but I'm TEMPTED to reraise for information, intending to fold a cap bet. Yeah, I know it sounds stupid, but if it gives me the peace of mind to fold the turn/river bet when the board blanks, I'm happy.

Here's an alternative: you bet/call the flop, turn card comes 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], MP1 bets. Now what do you do? If you can't decide whether MP1 has a T9 or an A, you might wind up calling all the way down (1 or 2 more BBs). The flop reraise costs you only 1/2 BB and teaches you much that you'd want to know.

Is this totally befuddled thinking?

P.S.: If I trust MP1 to bet only strength, then I think I just fold his flop raise and move on to the next hand. This will depend entirely on how tame he is post-flop. A typical LAP/fish with &lt;0.5 and I'm out on the flop raise.

Fold on the flop, and if NOT definitely fold on the turn.
