fold. You are not really beating anything here. Is he c/r KT here? JJ? Unlikely. If he has a FD you are in a RIO situation which is why playing draws aggro against thinkiing plays kicks ass.

hmm oop I like cheking here, personal preference really, raisings alright too. As played this is an easy fold, what are you beating here?

I raise here pf. While you could put him on a 3-bet with air thinking you missed, I still fold the flop, unless he's been aggressive and 3-betting c-bets on the flops.
