Default 2/4 Hand, Blind war v tag

Party Poker, $2/$4 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 6 Players
LegoPoker Hand History Converter

BB: $398.10
UTG: $400
MP: $835.65
CO: $586
Hero (BTN): $429
SB: $406.40

Pre-Flop: 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (BTN)
3 folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $16</font>, SB calls $14, BB folds

Flop: ($36) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $30</font>, <font color="red">SB raises to $90</font>, hero thinks he should fold

villian is a 19/15, not devoid of creativity but not a great winner probably, doesn't seem to do much so far. We haven't tangled.

I think standard should be folding this. There might be a decent amount of hands he would fold to a 3-bet, but there are probably a lot of strong draws and some made hands he will stick it in with too. I don't think calling this is an option because you don't have many outs you are HAPPY to get it in with and villan is likely to fire the turn also.

Probably a fold, yeah. Does anybody like calling and making a move at hearts+we have the six straight outs that are live, likely eight outs.

We can fold here. If it's a rainbow flop I like calling more.

To complete the options, minraise.

Don't know how the party 2/4 games - but in the FT 5/10 games, folding top pair here is WAY to weak - particularly w/ a draw on the board. As always these things boil down to images and game-flow. If villain views you as very aggro, its that more likely that he's raising light himself. Additionally, if villain is very aggro, its that more likely that he's raise air/flush draw - in which case a 3-bet would be preferred. You see what i'm getting at. Based purely on the stats given on villain, I don't mind folding here at all.

Huh? if its a rainbow flop - its that more likely that villain has a real hand and NOT a draw.
