You played it perfectly, I bet-fold this too against an unknown. Lots of lower pairs pay you off here in a blind battle.

Of course, the genius A high calldown, how could I forgot!

Name of the game is value betting, you'll be amazed by the crazy hands calling you 'til showdown (which is why the reverse is true too, stop betting your nothing earlier against those guys, generally).

Jes this is good.
The key to the hand though is that it's a blind battle.
His range is huge, and his hands can easily be composed of big little combinations giving him plenty of worse pairs. People don't fold in blind battles [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If you reduced his range to an open raising range from a non blind position you'd probabily want to check.
