Probably a really standard flop fold, but...

I always am confused on these spots against basically unknowns. Like, I feel so lost all the time.. do I just give up the flop, especially being OOP?

standard if you had bet $7 maybe. I call this and bet/fold the turn for halfish pot. He'll call with a FD and raise a big A.

What plan do we have on a non threatning river, if the villain cold calls our turn bet???

c/c reasonable amount; c/f to any bet???

[FGators]

Bet a little more on the flop, yeah, $6.50-7. Still Im folding here...decent chance he could have a worse Ace or a flush draw but we are OOP and I hate playing guessing games.

What's your river plan if villain calls a turn bet? C/F if the flush hits? What about a blank? C/C to induce or make a smallish bet?

be careful who you do this against. good/aware players pick this up for exactly what it is, a stop n go w/a hand you don't feel comfortable with. this is fine of course if you're also taking this line w/hands you plan on felting.

you're right, fwiw, i was just making a general statement rather than giving advice on the hand.
