With no read I'm folding and taking a note, but I'm unhappy about it. I sometimes take a line like the villain's as a bluff against players that c-bet too much, but I'd need to see him do this a few times before I'm calling, or at least see he's aggressive. I'm not very confident about this situation though, somebody tell me it's wrong.

I would re-raise to $15-$18 here, see where I am at. folding to a raise, and not paying on the river if he calls. I might be way off on this though.

Hero only has $20 to begin the hand with, so raising to what you said would put him all in..

if deeper, i raise to ~12
Since this commits hero, i fold.

sorry, didn't realize hero was short. With that in mind you have to fold haha.

You guys are insane and I shove here all day. This is just as likely to be a flush or straight draw as a made hand, if you think he has a straight then he pretty much has only 88, or maybe A8.. but his line screams weakness. Why would he bet when he can cr, or at least get another street out of you? And look at his weak betsize?

I'll be honest, I think I overlooked both of these points this hand; more the first than the second though. It is very tough for me to gauge people without reads.
