ABS 1/2: Bad fold with top pair heads up?

No reads.

I didn't realize when I was playing that both players posted or I probably would have raised preflop.

Yes, I think that's a good fold most of the times. Not capping the flop but raising the turn makes me veel very suspicious. Depends on your read though.

You could call down for a read. It would be helpful to know what he raised the flop with. And I guess there's the off chance that he just got really enthusiastic with Kings up.

Its difficult to feel comfortable about folding without a read that your opponent is normally passive.

I would prefer to call down in case your opponent was overplaying a weaker K.

CO's play is too strange for me to be comfortable with a fold, especially without a read. I call down.

Niediam on a dry board like this why 3 bet the flop after the raise? I think i call the flop raise check/call the turn and lead out on the river.

Why does villian's play look strange? I would play trips or better exactly the same as him. Pretty standard i have position and a monster line IMO.

i'd call down w/o a read, you dont know what he could possibly have and you probably aren't drawing dead,

btw wht's inferno's deal with the jennifer tilly / phil laak couple?!

I posted a similar hand a little while ago and many suggested just a call down from flop raise.
