Yes for me it is. I fold.

At 25NL I find big bets and raises mean big hands - set most likely in this case.

Unless you have a read and experience with the player and you have seen him make big bluffs I fold.

Villains range here is very wide:
Basically any pocket pair, A6, even the odd flush draw.
Two pair is possible but seems unlikely given your (vague) description.
Two things to keep in mind here:
- Most people dont play their sets this fast
- He thinks you have overcards

If you call and an A/K/Q falls, you can get to showdown cheap with what will be the best hand a lot of the time.
Heck, you might even make the best hand fold if you are feeling frisky.

I dont want to let go of this hand just yet.

I probably would have re-raised him.

I almost re-raised. I figured it as a raise or fold situation. I took the safe route. I asked him if he had TT or JJ and got no response.

Readless, I think you are beat a lot of the time. I'd need a read that villain would play a draw/tp/small overpair like this to continue.

I fold, We are either slightly ahead or way behind..I would need a solid read on villain to go forward..If we call over half the deck will scare us and we would have to bet to most turn bets..

I dont think a fold here is bad. You are either slightly ahead or way behind.
