I've decided to start posting again: 20-40 SH

[Eric P]

i show up at 11:15 to a house game that has been going all night. 20-40 5 handed

I'm deal K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in BB
utg FOLDS, RAISE (best and tightest player at the table), folds to me, i CALL

flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I check, he bets, i fold.

This was a read dependant play, i'm thinking that if flop comes no ace and he has a pocket pair, i get paid off (he's never seen me before, but i'm playing somewhat loose, he is playing ring game tight and talking about 'fundamentals' as a joke but is trying to prove a point to another guy at the table).

Is this ok? Obviously he is going to be the flop without an ace, but there is no pot to win and i stand to make 1.5 BB's if i play this hand an win, i stand to lose more than that if I lose, and I stand to lose much more often that i stand to win. Do other people make this play (just calling pre-flop)? If no one just calls pre-flop, pretending you did, do you also fold here?
