Re: Mid pair, top kicker - can I fold this?
I would fold this hand to an MP raise. I would definitely call (or 3bet) a button raise, and possibly call a CO raise. Postflop, I would checkraise the flop. Since you bet it, his raise gives you less information than if he had 3bet a flop checkraise. This is because a lot of players in the 5/10 game will raise a flop bet with a wide range of hands such as overcards or a gutshot. I think calling down is right. If you had checkraised the flop and he had 3bet, I think folding a nonimproving turn is good.
