I would raise to $13 and see how they react.

I would call.

Raising is pretty meh. The board is drawless. If you raise, your jamming this pot and pretty pc with a relatively weak hand. Why not just call and use position?

a clear fold?

[orange]

Do you have any reads? Has he double barreled before? Is he as laggy as his stats portray?

[the machine]

no reads. only 48 hands on him and havent noticed him yet. although i hadnt paid much attention ot the table. bad cards here + good cards and big pots on other tables led me to not focus as much here

[ajmargarine]

You have to fold it on the turn and give him credit. Your hand's just not strong enough IMO given the action.

[orange]

If he has not done this before, I think folding is best. Watch him though in the future.

[EMc]

o, AJ,

I like the advice given here.

The only problem I have with calling is that if they fire again on the turn we're going to have to let the hand go. We raised pf, and by reraising we're repping a strong hand. I wouldn't have a problem taking it down now either. Is this a bad way to think in these spots?

[kazana]

The problem with a raise is, that you have only few direct outs to improve your hand significantly if called. If we are ahead, then only by a small margin, unless villain is pure bluffing, of course.
Furthermore, a raise has to be big (~ pot sized) to have enough FE, so it's an expensive way to find out whether we're behind or not. So, with a raise we're exposing 1/3 of our stack in to gain information - far too expensive IMO.

[testaaja]

Call &amp; re-evaluate. If he comes out firing a big bet again and I haven't seen him done it I probably fold.

[the machine]

i thought ths hand was pretty striaght foward but figured it might be cool to see if anyone else suggested another line

i folded the turn

[brenno11]

i would call and fold if he fires a second barrel on the turn. maybe thats weak tho i dunno...

[pokerchap]

lay down turn.
