4/180 steal gone wrong, river decision

[usha]

This is last 25 or so in the 4/180
PF is a steal. My image should be tagish.
No read on villain as he just moved to my table.

Probably should have folded PF, but I think I have to call this flop, this bet is just too weak.

I tanked river, but couldn't think of a hand that takes this line and beats me, plus I'm getting good odds.

What do you think?

Flame away.

How 'bout a raise on the flop?

Or bet turn.

[hamnegger]

a raise to 1800 on flop defines your hand. or you can just fold. i fold river.

You need to think about what you are going to do rest of hand if you do indeed get called before you actually try to steal. I don't really see the point of raising pf, stealing or not, and then checking the flop. I always always fire on the flop. It's probably cheaper over the long run then check calling all the way down. I would fire ~1500 on flop and if you get called then shut down. As played, now you have absolutely no idea where you stand, I'd fold.
