Not really much as far as reads. I am new to the table and have shown down two crap hands. This is like the nastiest flop ever does my fold make sense ?

Dude, practice better table selection. 1 person at your table had over 50bb...

I like a flop call, though raising is cool. I don't understand your fold, maybe you hate money.

Sure it's a scary flop, but folding to a half pot bet when closing the action is wayyyy to weak here. I am 50/50 on calling or raising here. The BB only has a half stack, and I think CO raises at the flop with a 2 pair+ hand (with the exception of AJ, maybe). These 2 factors considered makes me lean closer to raising.

Holy shizzay.

How is this the nastiest flop??

- They are unlikely to have KK/QQ since they didn't rrz pre.
- AA losing to TT set is fine - get it in.
- They have a huge number of draws (TJ/JQ/JK/AK/AQ/[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img][img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]) faaaaar more often than a made str8 (9J/JA), so raise the flop to $65 and call a push.
