Raise with A7o, BB leads into raiser on 542 flop

How about a call? Do you think she is firing again with air? I don't know how she plays, but alot of players will give up on the turn, and if she has something like a pair of 8's alot of scarecards can come on the turn. My only concern is that we probably aren't deep enough to do this.

I think we tried that on a different betgo hand (though that time he had flush+inside straight draws), but it turned into disaster and quite frankly I can't imagine it going much better here. Raise or fold look much better and make your turn decisions much easier.

What if an 8 to K shows up and she follows up with a 2/3 pot bet? Calling pretty much equates to striaght up loose passive play here, it's not tricky and it's not helping define our opponent's hand so that we can either raise/bet or fold the turn. What if an Ace or a 7 show up? Calling is all questions and no answers and unless we hit it's disaster if she follows through on the turn (and still disaster in some cases that we do hit).

Looking this over, I like my fold. I tried to steal the blinds on the bubble, got called by another big stack who is a top player, missed the flop, and got bet into.
