Re: Call, Fold, or Raise
Without reads I probably fold this. Your immediate pot odds are about 1.5-1 and you're calling $5 to win $20 after the flop, so calling is a -EV play unless you think you have the best hand. Barring any reads that villain has been getting out of line pre-flop I think this is a fold. I'd want to be getting 6-1 or better in implied odds to even consider calling this (ideally we're looking for 8-1 implied odds {this also means we're confident we can stack him if we flop a queen}), unless I was sure I had the best hand. Yes hero would have position after the flop but I'm assuming we're playing for set value vs. such an overbet.
