Villain is an unknown. He's been in the table for around 15 hands this far and he's been very active in terms of limping and calling, but also open raising some. He doesn't strike as a good player and his stack size also backs this up.

What arguments could be made for calling/folding here? Raising would be a bluff, but would it be a viable option in this spot? Any thoughts?

raise or fold i guess, since he's only been at the table for 15 hands i'd lean towards folding

this is definitely not a raise or fold spot. i'd call or fold, raising seems really [censored]. u trying to get a jack to fold? that's lol, and trying to get a worse hand to call is more lol. vs. someone who's been active i don't mind a call but might lean towards a fold i guess until i have a better read.

I would fire the turn, to charge draws and try and chase out Jx.

I would fold the river.

Yeah, I didn't really consider raising as an option here.

Against an unknown, this is an easy fold I think, wait to get a better read on how he plays draws, big hands, etc. He may have a busted draw, but he's got you beat easily too often to consider a call imo

Against an unknown I just fold, but make a note of it.
