The average low stakes player plays top pair very quickly on boards like this, so folding's not an option. Most of your stack'll be in the pot if you call, and many turn cards may kill your action against TP, so I'd push right here.

call and then check call any non straight turn and river. He could be raising with AJ, AT, A8, 98, 88 etc. Much less likely you're behind overpair, 2 pair, or sets.

So nobody actually folds this? I throught this was... not an easy fold, but fold was better play. Looks his commiting him self to the pot, so I either have to move-in or fold. I need to win this (I think) around 40% of the time to make it profitable in the long run. Do you think I do that?
