Remember that the key to limit HE is generally not to find laydowns but rather to control the size of the pot with your weakish hands. Here you can use your position to do just this and make a long-term profit by investing one more bet to try to win this 5 BB pot.

Do you really mean "control the size of the pot," or something more like "control the amount of your investment in the pot?"

What I am getting at is that if you keep pots small with weakish hands, you will often have to find laydowns later since you won't be getting good odds to call. Here, though, the pot is already large enough that we'd like to get to showdown for 1BB if we can, so keeping our investment down is the thing to do.

Right?

Guy.
