I know what it is. Do you just blindly follow a somewhat popular "theorem" without question?

Nah, [censored] blindly following the theorem. But I think it does apply here, and I think because villain is an unknown we take the 0EV play here instead of one that to me looks -EV (calling).

Instead, consider what hands villain could possibly be making this play with. Only possible hand he could do this with that you are beating (aside from total air, which would be a ballsy bluff considering your continued strength on the above board) here is AQ, and I think that makes up a pretty small portion of his range.

Sure looks like a set of 3's or 4's to me. If villain is bad/loose even 56. I fold.

like... i doubt hes sophisticated enough to make this on a semibluff so his range here is like AQ-56-sets.. so what the answer should be pretty clear.
