i don't think villian is folding many hands in his range to a raise of 6-8, aside from the random bs and maybe bottom or middle pair. on the other hand, folding still seems weak to me. i'm leaning towards a call. if the river blanks and villian checks, then this says i missed my draw to me and i'm checking behind to pot control and induce a bluff. def. folding to any further aggression though aside from spiking a jack on the turn.

How is a raise to $8 into a $4 pot, as two posters have suggested, profitable? If you're done if you get called or raised, you'd have to induce a fold 2/3 of the time to break even, no? Do we really think that's realistic?

This brings us to a $6 bet, which would only have to induce a fold 60% of the time to break even, but which is imo much more likely to be called than the $8 bet. This doesn't sound like a great option, either.

I like folding here, especially with no reads. If villain is bluffing, he got us, but I don't think he's bluffing 60%-67% of the time, and I think he will call a raise when he is bluffing an additional few percent, making both of our raise options unprofitable.

interesting. i agree that raising is more or less pointless as he is not folding very often, but how often are you willing to float the flop here (assuming no reads)?

Small pot, w/ no reads its better to assume hes conservative and fold. Get some reads on the guy and put yourself in a better position to make money.

to a psb or smaller, against an unknown villian, i've been calling a high % of the time in this situation with position and again folding to further aggression. i think a sig. enough part of their range involves draws and weak hands to warrant a call. but i can def. see the args for folding. raising, i see now is clearly wrong.
