<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, SB (poster) completes, Hero checks.

Flop: ($0.50) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

How bad is this fold? I thought my K was good, but with the check raise and then getting bet into, i am not so sure.

You think your K is good? Then don't minraise. The initial flop bet is okay, because it's basically the size of the pot - when he minraises you, come back at him for $3-4 and see what his action is.

You can't get any sort of read on him by raising him .5 - come on now.

Why not raise to 2 or 3 on the flop to find out??

If he called/raised that one, then you may know where you stand fairly well. But as it stands you face an incoming 1/2 pot bet and have no idea whether he was trying a play or not. You raise that on the flop... you'll find out.

Edited to add: AH HA!! Someone stole my idea while I was posting!! Eeeeevil.... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

there's no way that your top pair crap kicker is good here. I fold to the flop raise unless I have a good read on the villain.

I meant check or fold to a bet. Unless SB likes to attack the blinds, then call down is possible.
