Without reads, I almost agree that a fold is best. For an argument, I will admit that in practice, I call this bet alot more than I would like to admit. Honestly, I call this against unknowns all the time.

While this call, may not be profitable against unknowns, I feel that against players who I have a feel for their tenancies, I pick off enough bluffs to be profitable. Villain's line really doesn't make sense. He either has a monster or nothing. When I call this, I am not afraid of any Q or T as much as I am of 77-99. I am more afraid of villain bluffing with the best hand than I am of him value betting the best hand. This is a Q very rarely imo. If he has a Q, I say nh and take a note. Whatever the result is, I take a note and adjust to this specific player.
