I thought that online 3/6 players were far more agressive than that.

Not everyone caps with JJ or AK like you do. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Does anyone else just call this flop?

Too many draws to do that.

I see all the draws, but LMP probably has us beat if he's continuing, so we are the ones most likely drawing once the turn action goes check, bet. Seems like he has a set or 2 pair here. Besides, why not wait for the turn to punish draws on a safe card? This makes the BB pay 2bb instead of 1.

How often do we have to be ahead to raise here if we are gonna call down? How about if we can safely fold to a threebet?

FWIW, I was thinking raise, but now that most have said its a call, I'm leaning toward believing that.

I would call and hope to see AJ.

The problem is that BB will often be correct to call 1 bet on the flop but not 2, on the flop. There are a lot of gutshot and 2pair type hands in BB's range. Also I notice that in your last post you suggested the possibility of calling the flop and bet/calling down the turn if he c/r's; you are a lot more screwed against that line than you are against a simple flop donk that might be a big hand, might be a flush draw, or might be random stupidity.
