How's this hand? SB = unknown, CO = 67/7/0.6

- I did not like SB's flop check-mini-raise since that could very well be a hand that I am drawing 3 or less outs against (set, better J). Then again, odds were just so good that I could not fold. Should I?

I'd fold to the check/minraise on the flop. When I lead out with top pair/no kicker, I do so with the intention of folding if I encounter resistance. Villain is showing a lot of strength, and unless he's completely idiotic you have at best three outs to improve, so what looks like good pot odds is in fact a sucker bet. If you had as little as a pair + gutshot, I'd probably peel one off, but all you have is a weak top pair.

fold to raise on flop - its really easy to overvalue hands in unraised pots. its used to be one of m biggest leaks so now i play squeaky tight in unraised pots.
