0.25/0.50 => 17:1 on top pair = call should be hero's default line imho, and he needs more experience to even consider folding in such a situation. Sure he may loose half a bet here but he's gonna throw away a pot way more than 1 time in 30.

say what on the bolded part?

I generally agree with your 17-1 top pair = call, but that really is only a default. there's like zero chance we're good here.
