Ok so the way I see it I can either make it $9 to play or just flat call. What would u do in this situation? I'm thinking the villain could be making a standard continuation bet with 2 high cards and a raise could get him to fold or he could be holding a higher pocket pair than me, in which case I am in trouble. Villain is fairly steady player, hasn't done anything too crazy as yet - 23/1.2/1.4 over approx 100 hands. Whats my move?
