Stupid preflop decision vs DeathDonkey

I think the decision is so close that it merits metagame considerations. If the fish and DD notice that you're folding in the face of this kind of action, then you could be inviting the fish to play back at you even more, which would be a total disaster in a short game where he is playing passively to begin with. You also could be inviting DD to start liberally trying to raise you out of the pot preflop and isolate the fish which would force you into some tougher preflop decisions.

This wasn't one of those situations, I was aware of it as well as DD which he agreed. Actually, I prefaced all discussion with, "all meta-game situation are not in play in this hand", DD agreed fully.
