This hand is only interesting to me because it was my first session ever at $1 and I knew I was up against 4_2_It. He doesn't know me. I was taking a shot because, well, I was running well. This is maybe 20 hands in. I haven't gotten out of line since I really have no idea about the dynamics of the game but I have continued to run well. Up until now I have avoided him. Fortunately he is on my immediate right.

Even though this is a blind battle, can I bet here? Is he not capable of coming over the top if I bet? Do I want that or not? I can't fold. Will he pay off a value bet?
